We’re overly excited for the Big Game this year. I know the black and gold isn’t in it, but guess who else isn’t? That’s right – that evil team from the north (don’t need to name names here, we know). That means, we celebrate. I don’t know if you had a chance to watch some of the playoff games this year, but these two teams are worthy of the title… Keep Reading
Alas, it’s that time of year again – whether you love or hate holiday shopping. I kept it simple and easy this year so you can just be one and done and head off to do what really matters – drink and avoid your relatives. Family Matching Pajamas You know you’re going to participate – willingly or not, so why not have some fun with it this year? Instead of… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Stash Tea. All opinions are 100% mine. Carson: “Hard work and diligence weigh more than beauty in the real world.” Violet: “If only that were true.” Being the Downton Abbey fan that I am, nothing excites me in my old(er) age than settling in for a hot cup of tea at night and some classic British television. But tea… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Babbleboxx. All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com. Tailgating is, in essence, an art. It’s not just about blacking out on Fireball by 11am, it’s about getting up in the early hours of the dark and cold to prep your grills and black and gold. It’s about cornhole, icy cold drinks and lots of Renegade. It’s like Christmas morning every… Keep Reading
Growing up in Pittsburgh, we were always huge football fans. It wasn’t until Max was born and I lived in NYC that I learned what the real meaning behind “futbol” was. This sport was HUGE. Almost bigger than Steeler Nation. And with Maximo’s family being from two large soccer countries – Uruguay and Guatemala – this sport was quickly loved in the home. What isn’t there to love about soccer?… Keep Reading
This is a sponsored post by Babbleboxx on behalf of popchips. All opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting FootballFoodandMotherhood.com! January is a cold and bitter month to most, but those who grew up in the Northeast love it. We live for the cold mornings and icy commutes because we know that we get to come home to hot and satisfying eats and football games. January was meant for playoff season… Keep Reading
Ball. Bacon. Beers. Three of my favorite things and if I can get them all in one place, you’ve hooked me for life. Especially when said place is also delicious AND kid-friendly. Enter one of my new favorite hidden gems – BarBacon in Union Square. There are so many reasons to love this place. One – it’s convenient to get to. Two – it’s not your average sports bar. Not… Keep Reading
Now that I am in my mid-30s (yes, middle-aged and fabulous over here!), I am allowed to admit and say, as you get older you get wiser. I’ve lived long enough to realize this. And that also, time and quality of life (especially as a mom) usually wins, too. I want to enjoy spending what time I have with my family and friends – and being disconnected. And while I… Keep Reading
Football season is here – even if the black and yellow might have missed the memo. Not to fear, no fair-weathered fans here. With or without Bell on the field, AB drama and Ben sporting an injury (as usual), we are still ready to rock each week in our yinzer favorites. Whether it’s at the game, at home or watching the game in a local bar (or the NFL app… Keep Reading
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
