Let me be honest for a sec, while you’re all enjoying watching the football game, I’m the loner in the corner eating #allthefood and I’m totally fine with that. Anyone with me? 🙋 I mean, if it’s a reeeeeally exciting game, I can get into it, but I can’t get through game day without super delicious snacks. Because of this, I’d thought I’d gather up some game day snacks & football recipes for snacks & apps, main dishes, and desserts that I want to see on game day!
