My husband and Football. What to say .... what to say? He's a bit of a Football junky to be honest. Sports are a way of life for him. He gets a special twinkle in his eye when he talks about anything sports related - he's passionate about it for sure! So, I try my best to support him. I'm not well versed in plays or calls or any of that jazz, but I give it the old college try and make up for my lack of sports knowledge by whipping up great snacks and food on game day. After all, great food really is the way to mans heart.
What would a football game be without chips, snacks and goodies? We absolutely love to serve all types of dips and snacks on game day. Our favorite dips are made all-the-better with Tostitos and Fritos{YUM!} Plus - SCORE! They're GLUTEN FREE. A total must for our daughter who has Celiac disease.

We also stock up on Pepsi and Dr. Pepper - and then have a blast upcycling the empty bottles into fun craft projects for the kids post-game.
As a family of 5, budget is always at the top of my mind. The prices seriously can't be beat at Family Dollar. Their already low prices are made even sweeter with their online printable coupons for P& G, Pepsi and FritoLay brand favorites. We can find all of our favorite products including Bounty Paper Towels, Dawn Dish Detergent, Tide Laundry Detergent, Dorritos, Tostitos Scoops, and Tostitos Dips/Salsas, Lays Chips and MORE - all in one place. Which saves time on game day prep and gas (double score!).
What goes hand in hand with great food, family time, and football fun? The messy aftermath of course! Yep. One thing's for sure, two thing's for certain. There's going to be a "blopper". Someone will inevitably wind up with food stains on their clothing {and or} the table/floor. And the dishes will inevitably be piled high in the sink! But all of these things are simply signs that a great time was had by all, and that's all that really matters in the grand scheme of things. Right? Nothing that some Tide and Dawn can't handle!
