It’s the start of football season and that means it’s time to think about game day food! Honestly, I’m not big on tailgating like my hubby. I prefer to stay at home and watch the game from the comfort of home.
Okay, I have to be honest here. The reason I created this list of ultimate at home game day menu ideas is because I’m terrible at keeping track of the ball in live stadium play (is it just me?). Don’t laugh, but unless there is a cameraman following the ball around, I’m totally clueless of where the heck the ball is. For me, watching football on television suits me better and helps me follow the game. So if you like to watch from home too, you’re going to love this list of ultimate at home game day menu ideas.
