Foodie Friday: Food For Hungry Fans


A tailgate party is uniquely American. It doesn't matter what state you live in, Saturdays and Sundays were made for Fall football and fun food for hungry fans.  The best parties seem to be on college campuses. You simply can't beat those held at the University of Notre Dame. Such fun! This recipe roundup features elevated football fare that will score with any crowd.

Here: 20 Recipes & Tailgate Essentials

Apple Cider Sangria
Here's a drink with all of the Fall feels! I think the key ingredient is thee Ginger Brandy.

Pumpkin Pie White Chocolate Brownies
If brownies. pumpkin pie, and white chocolate fudge had a baby, this would be it. Easy to transport and oh so "fall-ish."

Baked Ziti
I don't eat pasta, but everyone else does. Even though I don't, I have a spoon ready to dig into this casserole. With three kinds of cheeses, ground beef and Italian sausage, 
it is sure to be delish.

Cheesy Everything Dogs In A Blanket
Hot dogs are pretty standard at a tailgate party. Why not raise the bar with this delicious dog? The recipe calls for Nitrate Free hot dogs, which I applaud. Nitrates are a potent and known carcinogen. Yuck.

Casserole Carriers
Here's your new tailgate bestie! Those disposable foil pans are handy, but not worth a darn when trying to transport them. This clever carrier gets your dish there with style!

Cheeseburger Bloody Mary's
Feeling fancy? These will impress your guests. Aren't they just the cutest things ever?

Ham and Cheese Sandwiches w/Bacon, Pineapple Caramelized Onions + Jerk 
BBQ Sauce
Your basic ham and cheese sandwich isn't very exciting. Add bacon, pineapple, caramelized onions + jerk bbq sauce, and you have an exceptional little treat!

Banana Fritters On A Stick 
Fritters on a stick are not a new thing, but these have been jazzed up with Peanut Sugar spiced with cinnamon, and a Mexican Chocolate Sauce. Enough said. Make extra!
Half Baked Harvest

RS Barcelona BBQ Grill
The Mon Oncle goes where you go. When closed it looks like an elegant briefcase. Open it up and it is a portable table top grill. Tailgate terrific!
AHAlife

Crispy Blackberry Honey Jalapeno 
Chicken Wings
Everyone makes wings (except for me), but most do not look quite as appealing as these. The idea of a sweet and spicy recipe is 
always a good thing.
Heather Christo

Roasted Cauliflower Enchiladas
Having a really good vegetarian dish at any party is a smart idea. Everything is fresh in the recipe
 includingthe sauce. My kind of dish!
Give Me Some Oven

Alexander Wang Leather Cooler
For those who take their pleasures seriously. This insulated carrier is the best fashion accessory for game day. The inside features a removable stainless steel liner case. Dom Perignon anyone? After the game, it becomes a pretty fancy lunch box!
Alexander Wang

Truffle Bacon Popcorn
Sweet and salty. The perfect combination! Love the idea of serving these in cupcake wrappers. Better than all of your guests digging in with their hands!!
Foodie Crush

Hot Bacon Cheese Dip
Because everything is better with bacon. Serve it with sliced French bread or tortilla chips. 
Taste Of Home

Cajun Jambalaya Nachos
Now this is what you call elevating a staple recipe. The author has stacked layers and layers of shrimp, chicken breast, Kielbasa, oodles of gooey cheese and so much more. It will be a stylish surprise for your guests.
Waiting On Martha

Cheese Boat
I think everyone will agree that cheese is always a winner at any gathering.....especially if you are from Wisconsin.  This appetizer goes one step further. There is corn beef
 in the mix. 
Food Network

Football Bean Bag Toss Game
I don't know exactly why, but this game seems to be a "must have" at any tailgater. This is a real pro model with a major sporty vibe.
Nordstrom

More Cupcakes
Asked to bring something to the party, but you don't bake? Order these instead. You won't find a better cupcake in my view. They will score big with the guests with flavors like, Salted Caramel, Valrhona Chocolate, and Vanilla Chocolate. They are shipped frozen, which guarantees freshness. They are fab!!
Williams Sonoma

Game Day Beer Chili
Personally, I can't wait until it is cool enough to really enjoy a hot bowl of chili. And though, I never use a recipe for chili, I was happy to see some of the interesting ingredients for this recipe. Think, pure maple syrup, smoked paprika (there is a difference), and both Italian sausage and ground beef. Just like I do it, and it 
is always delicious.

Crock Pot Single Hand Cook & Carry
First of all, target has a sale on Crock Pot brand slow cookers, including this handy dandy problem solver. if you have ever tried to transport a normal slow cooker, you know that is a nightmare and a mess ready to happen.
