Football Food & Game Day Recipes (1)

Well it's that time again........ Football Season! In my house it's all about Football for my guys, but for me it's all about the food. I don't know why, but I have never really been much of a football fan.Well, that's unless it's high school football.

There's just something about High School Football and school spirit that really gets me going. I love being a part of it all, especially if my oldest son is playing. When it comes to NFL and College Football I really don't care a for it. Even though I don't get involved in the actual game I do love all the fun that surrounds it.
