It’s that time of year, friends!

That time of year where we all get together, make delicious food, and yell at the TV while men in helmets run into each other and throw a ball 100 yards down a field. That’s right. FOOTBALL SEASON. Alright, I’ll be honest: I used to be way more into football than I am now. I used to know every players name on every team (exaggeration, but I was pretty damn well-informed). Heck, that’s why I majored in Sport Management: I loved sports.

But what I love most about this season, is the FOOD. Burgers n hot dogs n french fries n barbecue and NOM NOM NOM. Alllll the comfort food. That’s right – we’re getting down and dirty here. Football weekends are all about having fun. Why not enjoy the food you’re eating with no guilt?

With all of that said, today I’m giving you twenty tailgate snacks to make this football season. Trust me, you’ll want to share these with your friends.
