We are so excited that football season is here! We are big football fans and I love attending football games and tailgate parties. This weekend we attended a Rams Football game and it was great fun to be at the stadium.
While we did not tailgate this weekend, we love tailgating too. Our best tailgate recipes include our football rice treats and this hot pizza dip.
