Saturdays in the Fall

I am a huge football fanatic, so there is not much that I love more than a Saturday in the Fall. Waking up to College GameDay on ESPN, getting dressed into the BAMA gear of my choice, cooking (and eating) delicious finger foods, friends and watching teams battle it out for 4 quarters! My friends down here in Florida laugh at me because I don't leave the house on Saturdays in the Fall, unless I am going to a football party. It's just what I do...I am trying to share the tradition with them!

This past Saturday was a big day for College Football. Auburn lost to Clemson (what a great start to the day), Florida beat Tennessee, Miami beat Ohio State, FSU lost to Oklahoma and BAMA WON! Now, I know you are thinking, "North Texas is a high school team"... Alabama's season starts this week with Arkansas to open our SEC schedule, and I couldn't be happier! I love a good SEC matchup.

Since I haven't shared any recipes lately, I have a couple here. Our menu for the day was Boiled Peanuts, Hot Pizza Dip, Oreo Pudding, Rotel Dip, Cookies, Grilled Chicken, and Corn on the Cob. See recipes below... (They were given to me by my Aunt Lisa)
