From Kickoff to Final Whistle: Football Snacks for the Whole Family
Football season has its own rhythm in our house. The jerseys come out of the closet, the TV gets claimed early, and the kitchen turns into my personal tailgate station. Somewhere between the pre-game chatter and the final whistle, there’s always food — not just any food, but the kind that makes everyone lean back, sigh, and say, “Now that’s a game-day spread.” And here’s the secret: it doesn’t all have to be heavy, fried, or dripping with cheese (though we’ll save room for a
