Tailgating gets a bad rep. You think beer chugging and huge men with beer bellies slurping wing sauce, sausages and fries. Not to take all your fun out of it, but tailgating can still be tasty without all the high-calorie artery clogging. Yinz will be livid for me offering lighter options, but let’s be honest – the trick is in the trade. You don’t have to down hoagies on the… Keep Reading
Everyone knows the Vitamix as the supreme blender/mixer do-it-all tool for the kitchen, but are you actually using it? Not much intimidates me, but I wasn’t sure how to really get into the mix of this fancy machinery. I tried making smoothies, but they just weren’t coming out perfect – maybe I was adding too much since it was so big? Blended soups were no problem – my Butternut… Keep Reading
Alll the joys of BTS (back to school for you NOOBS) are here people! Schedules, homework, tests and yes, school lunches. I didn’t realize that going to our school meant making school lunches for basically the rest of my life. That’s a commitment, so anything making that morning routine easier is MUSIC TO MY EARS. But I also have a picky eater. So all those fancy cute lunches you parents… Keep Reading
One thing I know about football season – it isn’t good for the waistline. Beers and brauts in the parking lots before the home page are always fun and delicious, but if you didn’t wonder why we wear all those weird wild pajama pants to tailgate in – well now you do (no one fits in their jeans after a good tailgate!). Being a bit older and more refined (grown… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Disney Book Group. All opinions and recipes are my own. Thank you for supporting Football Food and Motherhood. I thought biting was only for babies. But then, the savage child I am raising bit off the top of my brand new water bottle in a matter of minutes. Then there was the headphone cord, my phone charger… and well, someone was going… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Riondo Prosecco. All opinions are 100% mine. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that National Prosecco Day falls in the middle of August. August is like one long Sunday where you know school is just looming in the shadows. And August is hot – too hot sometimes that it’s just the perfect excuse (especially when it falls on a… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by Babbleboxx on behalf of Sugarlands Distilling Company. Remember the show Moonshiners on The Discovery Channel? A few hillbillies in mental anguish between doing what they do best – backwoods moonshine making – and going mainstream? If you grew up in the rural farmlands of PA like I did, the show was fascinating to show the true-life struggle of tradition and modernization. But long story short… Keep Reading
Disclaimer: I received this product for free from Moms Meet to use and post my honest opinions. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links. It took a while to really come to the conclusion that one needs such a high-powered blender as a Vitamix (and the latest model – E310 Explorian). Maybe it’s age or maybe it’s just the fact that I’m tired of having half-blended… Keep Reading
We’re really fat kids at heart just trying to survive in a healthy world. And while we may not eat them every day, we sure love a reason to celebrate – like National Donut Day. Donuts are our favorite indulgence because we can take them on the go. They don’t melt like ice cream and they don’t smush like a cupcake. We love to road trip with donuts – there’s just… Keep Reading
This post is sponsored by Babbleboxx on behalf of Boston Market. There is some hot new news on the market today – literally. Boston Market just dropped a bombshell – they’ve added Prime Rib to their rotisserie menu. Starting on Sunday and Wednesday evenings at 5pm (yes, TOMORROW!), you can get this delicious, juicy new hunk of USDA prime rib rotisserie meat at all locations (including the one on 10th Avenue)….
