Super Bowl Treats: Brownies, Cookies, and Cupcakes

I feel bad for desserts on Super Bowl Sunday. The all-mighty dips and finger foods are paraded around the room, overshadowing these little goodies.

Sweet & Spicy Jalepeno Poppers

If you’d asked me a year ago if I liked jalapeno poppers, I would have said no. Not one for spicy foods, just the mention of a jalapeno makes my mouth start to burn. But, it wasn’t until I tasted the Pioneer Woman’s poppers did I change my tune about this delightful finger food. I [...]

Ultimate Super Bowl Dips

Ever since the Green Bay Packers gloriously beat the Chicago Bears in their last game of the season – I’ve been hosting post-season football parties every weekend.  Friends have been gathering around my TV, screaming, jumping up and down, spilling beer, consuming greasy pizza, and giving too many high fives to count. It’s a post-season [...]

Sundays & Tailgating

There never seems to be anything to look forward to after the holiday season. From January to March, it’s nothing but cold, slushy and gray. At least this is what I used to think…before I found the beauty of football playoff season. You see, coming from St. Louis, I had been rooting for a losing [...]

Homecoming Tailgate

In case many of you didn’t know, it’s Homecoming season! This means football, dances with pretty dresses, cheerleaders, and lots and lots of face paint. I went to an all-girls high school, so my Homecoming experience was a little different from the norm. We had a spirit week where we’d have to dress a certain [...]

Last weekend officially kicked off the Wisconsin Badger football season. Needless to say my Wisconsin born and raised boyfriend was thrilled. This weekend is the official start of the Green Bay Packers’ football season. Once again, my boyfriend is ecstatic. See a pattern here? I would like to still focus on baseball, but I don’t [...]
