Football is here my friends. Fantasy drafts are happening left and right, players are dropping like flies already (Romo, anyone?) and the cool air today has me ready for black and gold sweatshirts and yinzer gear galore. This year, I’ve been recruited to join a new fantasy league (Yes, EMFL or Every Man’s Fantasy League is still going strong again, too – don’t worry!) – a few football fanatic women… Keep Reading
In America, the Super Bowl is pretty much a holiday. In fact as a kid, growing up I felt they should always cancel school the next morning because you were up so late (I still believe that anyone who is a fan of the winning team should be a “free pass” off of work the next morning!). Football is about an American as you can get, and it’s literally a… Keep Reading
It’s official, the Steelers are out of the running and the winter cold is blowing outside. New York City is frigid. That means it’s time to crawl up in the fetal position and cry and drown yourself in carbs. Because it’s January. You’re all about resolutions? I’m all about hibernating for the next 60 days. Ok, so yes, I am still training for the Pittsburgh Marathon in April, but that… Keep Reading

All opinions are mine alone. #VivaLaMorena #CollectiveBias It might be cold out, but the road to the big game is heating up. This Saturday, the pigskin will be tossing high in the Rocky Mountains and hopefully ends with a black and gold victory. In preparation, I’ve been stepping up my “homegating” skills by trying to make new finger friendly options…. Keep Reading
It’s December 1st and I can officially write about holiday shopping and Christmas trees without feeling like it’s treading on my turkey. Call me old fashioned, but I like my holidays one at a time. If you’ve known me for a long time, you know that I actually never liked to celebrate holidays. As an only child who isn’t close to her family I just had to need to. In… Keep Reading
Ahhh, football season. Is there any better way to enjoy carbs and friends at the same time? Yes, we definitely try to be healthy here but sometimes, well, tailgates and football aren’t exactly, er, easy on the waistline. And that’s okay, just like the Steelers, you can’t always have a perfect season. Since I was at the Steelers/Raiders game last week in Pittsburgh (and the game was literally a nail… Keep Reading
In preparation for my trip to Pittsburgh next week and attending my annual Steelers game right at home at Heinz Field, I’ve been trying to prep for tailgating by testing out some new recipes and finger foods at home. Listen, we take tailgating serious in Pittsburgh, and you can never just “wing it.” When there are flat screens, hired DJs spinning and real chefs tossing up steaks and burgers on the… Keep Reading
It’s football season if you haven’t noticed. Players on my fantasy team have been dropping left and right, Big Ben is injured for a few weeks, and that crisp fall air makes you want to cancel your FlyWheel spinning class and just eat carbs on the couch. The trick to this is like any true mom sport – finding balance and time for both. I like to think of… Keep Reading
Next to the holidays, it’s the second craziest time of year: back-to-school and fall. That means football is in the air – on television, in tailgating and in our kids sports. If you don’t happen to follow my blog (you’re missing out!), it’s pretty obvious by the title that football plays a huge part in our lives. And having a son, I know it’s only a matter of time before he… Keep Reading
I grew up in middle America where football isn’t just a sport, it’s a way of life. We don’t just watch the games every Sunday, we have a football channel dedicated to 365 days of coverage. I can dictate more sports facts and stats from history than the average male, and half my wardrobe is able to match the team colors when I head out to watch a game live…. Keep Reading
