It’s the start of school and therefore, the start of the football season – high school, college and professional.

Football can bring us so many emotions – the high exhilaration of victory and the letdown of defeat. In many ways, food can bring us mutual feelings. These two football-related recipes are perfect for your pre-game tailgate or on your couch watching your favorite team’s game.
