Good morning y’all!
There is one family tradition that I just can’t get enough of…….yes, you guessed it…..Football!!! Me and my family love watching it every week…….College Football, (Go Hawks) they are undefeated……yippeeeeee, they have a bye week and so well deserved.
NFL……oh yeah……….now, if you have been reading my post then you know Riley and I are Cowboys fans……….always have been…..always will be……but what really makes watching pro football so fun……….
Yeah, you probably guessed it again…..it’s my family (like many out there) we all have our favorite NFL team……and boy don’t try to convert anyone…..been there, done there…….. anyway……..it’s so much more fun this way………
You can count on a lot of drama, a lot of chatter (especially when your team is winning), a lot of laughing, a lot of poking fun at each other, a lot of sympathy (when your team is losing)……well, sometimes not a whole lot of sympathy is going around………hey, we all want our team to win!
No really, it’s a pretty serious matter in our family……it feels like we wait all year-long for football to start and the season goes by so fast……of course depending on your team……the season may go on a little longer…..hey…… we can all wish and pray for that!
Football has a wonderful way to bring family and friends together and in an odd way……. and no not just because of what you wear……..those crazy jerseys…. t-shirts….. caps….shorts….. and pj’s……..yes,…… I said pj’s……….Now, I love me some Cowboys pjs…………Riley is not too crazy about the ones I bought him, so I told him I would not post that pic…….today, (but one day) teehee!
Of course watching foot ball with family and friends is also a great time to share old and new recipes! Hey, I told you before, my family loves to eat………..what family doesn’t………
Here’s a few things we love before, during and after the games…..try some…..share some of your favorites.
- Chicken waffle sliders
- Sausage scrabble eggs
- Mimosas
- Chicken wings
- 6 ingredient fruit salad (strawberries, pineapple, grapes, blueberries, watermelon, cantaloupe) It’s so easy. Cut into cubes and pull in a large bowl. Mix in separate bowl, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tsp lime zest and 1 tbsp of lime juice. Pour into large bowl of fruit, toss before serving…….They will love it!
- Guacamole/Salsa and chips
- Tacos
- Beer Chili
- Deviled eggs
- Chicken tortilla soup
- BBQ chicken/beef sliders
- Beer glazed pecans
- Pumpkin bread
- Ice Cream
OMG……I know I know the list can go on and on and on…….Try something new each week!
One thing you can always count on, and that is, our home is always filled with love for each other.
Yes, life is crazy busy…….but, the love, kindness and warmth you create and spread to each other will warm your soul.
Be kind, be generous, be gracious. Be with your family!
Riley and I send you love and kindness and of course we love to hear from y’all, Woof Woof,??.
