You’re so welcome!
OMG I’m so hungry now! All those recipes look so yummy. Going to try a few this weekend. Our home team K-State will be playing. Go wildcats! 🏈
Awesome! Have fun!
Everything looks great! except… the brussel sprouts 🙁
Give them another try! They are so good cut in half and roasted with just olive oil, pepper and salt. No soggy innards, just crispy browned leaves. My husband wasn’t a fan either until he tried them roasted. I tried them boiled one time and almost gagged, they were so bad! I can understand why some people think they’re terrible.
I know I keep commenting, but I gotta say the cannoli dip and boozy gummy bears & cinnamon rolls and everything else totally make up for the brussel sprouts 😀 ha!
LOL I’m so glad! Thanks Anna 🙂
Yum! I saw another one on Pinterest tator tot kabobs with cheese and bacon! Looked good too!
Didn’t think of these recipes, they all look great. I really need to add them to my tailgate/football parties. Thanks a lot.
You’re welcome Deanna!

Thank you for sharing these delicious looking tailgate food ideas. I especially appreciate your use of images, so we can see exactly what the food is going to look like…and get us hungry in an instant! I would love to suggest to those who are not interested in prepping tailgate foods, but still want to host a tailgate party, to consider catering with a local Mediterranean restaurant. The flavor packed, healthy, and often snack sized foods they offer can bring a unique twist to traditional tailgate foods. Thanks again for sharing and good luck to everyone’s teams.
