Fall is here and that can only mean one thing; football season has arrived. Whether you are an avid fan or just a fan because everyone else around you is, no one can deny the feeling of hunkering down on a Sunday with a big blanket and some good snacks.
Burgers and hot dogs are traditional Sunday staples, but as the weather gets colder, the idea of having to go outside to grill becomes less and less appealing. While we all have our favorite football munchie go-to’s, football season is long and our once-loved recipes can quickly become redundant. Sundays with the game on always feel cozy, and with the addition of a couple of easy recipes, they can also be delicious.
