Slow Cooked Game Foods

Football season is officially here. That means cooler weather, gatherings in homes and parking lots and rivalries to match no other. Football can bring us together as well as divide a house for a few hours. We wear jerseys or other paraphernalia to show our support for our teams. Paint goes on bodies as well as fingers and funky hats while we scream for our players and yell at the opposing squad. Refs get cussed, things are thrown and emotions are high for one or two days each week. But as soon as the game is over and we cool off, it’s like nothing ever happened because next week is another chance at a win. Nothing splits a home for a day like rooting for opposing teams and nothing gets everyone so excited as a good play by your favorite team.
