Foodie Friday: Tailgate Recipes & More

Ready for some football? Whether you are or not, chances are your spouses are. For many like myself, eating and drinking in Fall's cool crisp air, is even more fun than the game itself. Chips and burgers are fine, but why not wow your crowd with something creative? I promise that this recipe roundup will score big with 
football fans. 

The Best Bloody Mary Bar
If you are starting early, like the most die hard fans do, a Bloody Mary is a must. Make it a bar, and you now have everyone's attention. Your guests are interacting and serving themselves. It's a win win for everyone. This article gives you great tips on making the best bloodies ever!
Williams Sonoma Taste

Baked Sweet Potato Parmesan Tater Tots
These tempting treats begin as mashed sweet potatoes and turn into a real crowd pleaser! The secret to their deliciousness is rolling the mashed potatoes in panko 
bread crumbs!
Half Baked Harvest

Annoyingly Addicting Bourbon
 Apple Fritters
These fab fritters have bourbon in the dough and in the glaze. Just what a tailgater wants. The more booze the merrier. I have to admit, I had an apple fritter last weekend, but without the bourbon. I can only imagine....
Broma Bakery

Pumpkin Queso Fundido
What an indulgent treat that is sure to be a crowd pleaser.  It's up to you if you allow
 double dipping!

Tailgate Table Accessories
If game day is your theme, these accessories score big!
Fancy Celebration

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Nachos
Citrus infused pork shoulder is a crowd pleaser. Put this together the night before in your slow cooker. Assemble the day of. Impressive, right?
Hy-Vee

Crispy Blackberry Honey Jalapeno 
Chicken Wings
Am I the only person you know that has never had a chicken wing? They are just "eewww" to me. But I know that they are a stadium staple for hungry fans. If I were to make them, it would be this recipe. Their gorgeous color and tart and sticky honey sweet taste, really step up this football classic.  PS. The wings are made with gluten-free flour.

Cheese "Burker" Sliders & Samuel Adams Ketchup
You have to love a recipe that is made with four bottles of lager! Recipe by David Burke so you know it must be good. Sliders are fun and easier to eat standing up. Going the extra mile with the pickle and tomato makes these 
extra special.

Bourbon Pecan Fudge Brownies
I like the way the recipe author thinks. She and I both consider bourbon always a good substitute for vanilla. And like a good bourbon, these tasty treats get better with age. So feel free to make them ahead of game day.
Love and Olive Oil

Mini Chili Bowl Bites
Another easy to eat recipe. Aren't they the cutest? What you see is a pretzel bite hollowed out with a melon baller. Clever!
Bakers Royale

Olympia Provisions Football Summer Sausage
Here's center stage for your next game day cheese board. It's also the best host gift you can bring to any football celebration.
Isn't it great?
