Dawg tailgate

Since I’m not headed back to school this month and I’m not sending someone off to school this month, I sure am glad there is Football to let me know Fall really is here and newness is on the horizon. Planning this season’s tailgate menus has been a summer-long fun diversion, and I’m full of…

Ok, fans, last week’s Border Battle came with a little more anxiety that we wanted, but Go Dawgs! You always make it fun…. This week brings us another opportunity to celebrate Southern Hospitality as we host our neighbors to the west – the Ragin’ Cajuns of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. This Dawg fan…

I love to cook for the South Carolina game. Usually early enough in the season that summer produce is still abundant leads to fresh menus rooted in border state rivalries on and off the field. (Yes, I know, South Carolina grows more peaches than Georgia. Thank you for helping us keep the world supplied with…

What a great way to start a season, right? OK, it’s scary too! But this week, we are all about celebrating seasons of wins by stacking and layering all of the tailgate favorites! I’m using my son’s Smashburger recipe (and his griddle!) to stack some smash burgers. And then we will layer up the sides…

I know. Why is there a Notre Dame game right here on in a place dedicated to the Dawgs? Well, I’m in love with a member of the Fighting Irish alumni (such a ND family – with an Italian last name!). So, I’ve been on this journey of learning to cheer for a Blue and…

Hey friends! Sorry I missed sharing a spread last week. It’s not only football season, it’s work travel season and that means I’m juggling lots of balls and the football got dropped last week. (The Dawgs did a bit of that too, so I’m upping my game and hoping they are with me!) Georgia vs…

Though I’m barely home for this weekend between work trips, I am so excited about this tailgate menu! I don’t think Georgia has ever played Kent State. I, for sure, have never cooked for that matchup, so I’ve been around the world deciding how to theme this menu. I love the flavors of Cincinnati chili.…

What a week, friends! Travel for work has me late in sharing my tailgate inspiration with you. This week’s menu is simple – because it’s a late post and an early game. I’m going easy on myself and I hope you do too. Here’s what’s cooking…. Anyone ever heard of a Bird Dog? I hadn’t…

Oh how fun it was to watch the Dawgs take the field last week! I had a sofa full of young men laughing and feasting and swapping stories. It was perfect! And this week we are ready to do it again with a tailgate menu that shares the best of my birth state as Georgia…

Whether you will be cheering from Mercedes-Benz stadium in the heart of Atlanta or shouting from the sofa in your living room, IT IS TIME! I am so ready to hear Battle Hymn from the North End Zone… but first there is some cooking to do. This week’s menu is inspired by the food and…
