Next up: GEORGIA TECH vs Western Carolina 9/1/11

We’ve planned out which games we’ll be attending this fall. We will be covering the Southeast (ACC and SEC). Can’t wait! Now on to the food!For this game, it’s in Atlanta; it’s my husband’s alma mater; it’s going to be hot as...

FINGER FOOD!

In my experience, the foods that are the most popular are the ones that are bite sized and easy to eat. No one wants to cut a tough steak or chicken breast with a knife and fork while balancing a paper plate on their lap all while teetering in a tailgating chair or a...

IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!

No it’s not the holiday season. It’s August in the South, and that can only mean one thing – – – FOOTBALL SEASON! It’s August.  The anticipation is similar every year. All of my favorite teams are undefeated, and there is hope...

PERFECT GRILL MENU

EARLY GAMES MEAN “BRUNCH!”

Even though sometimes it’s hard to get to the stadium for those noon, 12:30 or 1:00 games, it’s worth it when you arrive and have some fabulous food to enjoy with friends. Here’s a classic menu that we served “pregame.”   ...

THE HEAT IS ON!

What to serve at a tailgate at the beginning of the season in the DEEP SOUTH!?Got to keep it cool! Some days are just not conducive to grilling, and hearing meat sizzling is just unappetizing when it’s over 90 degrees and humid out. These are the times my...
