It's time again.....for football food

That time is upon us again, friends....football season is here and I am one happy lady.

Do I enjoy watching college sports, specifically the Iowa Hawkeyes? I sure do.

But do I equally enjoy getting together with friends and family, watching the game and snacking on some good ole tailgate food?!

You better believe it.

So here are some things I am making tomorrow, as well as things I am picking up pre-made.

from the Pioneer Woman website

* Pioneer Woman Restaurant Style Salsa

This salsa is the BEST THING EVER and as I've said on other posts, my people don't let me show up to or host a gathering without it. If you can open cans and hit Pulse on the food processor, you can do this. And people will ask you where you bought it, and act all impressed when you tell them it's homemade.

You're welcome.

I am making a 4x batch of this tomorrow. No, that's not a typo - my cousins LOVE this stuff. I once made a triple batch for a taco night and no lie, it was gone in under 30 minutes. So tomorrow, I come prepared. And if I have leftovers, it will keep in the fridge for a few days. I'll send some home with the kids if there's any left.

You can find the recipe here: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/restaurant-style-salsa/

* Fruit and veggies tray

I don't think you need a picture of this; just imagine some various fruits cut up in a bowl and a tray of carrots and such. You need something to balance out the carbs and sweets.

* 5 Ingredient White Queso

Because if you have salsa, you MUST have queso to go along with it. It's like, the law.  The Baking Fairy has this recipe on her site and I love it because you thrown the stuff in, fire up the crockpot, and move along with your life.

from the Chick Fil A website

* Chick Fil A Nuggets with Sauce

Did you know - you can order a tray of the glorious Chick Fil A nuggets to GO?! This is life-changing, folks. Add to that some of their insanely good unsweetened tea and I am a happy lady. (Plus, this provides more substance for those who want more than snacks.) You can order this to pick up at your local store. I believe some locations will also deliver for you. WINNING.

* And the last item will be some sort of dessert item, which I haven't yet landed on. I am gravitating towards cookies for ease of eating, but might also make a berry cobbler because that is A) simple as can be and B) just screams fall.

Alas, no pumpkin on the menu this week but the season is young.

So there you have it. I hope you have fun plans for your Labor Day weekend!
