House of Hydrangeas

Being a girl raised in the South, I've grown up loving college football...and of course all of the eats and treats that come along with it.  Here are a few new favorites to share with you guys.  Enjoy, and Roll Tide! { Pretzel rolls with beer cheese sauce .  What could be more appropriate?} {Collegiate Martini.  Love this idea from Snappy Gourmet .  Pick a drink to match your team's colors and use pineapple or apple slices to cut out a floating logo.} { Football shaped foods .  The possibilities are endless...Check Pinterest for even more ideas.} { Sausage Pepperoni Pizza Puffs .  A mini pizza party in your mouth.  Yes, please.} { Buffalo Chicken Appetizer Cupcakes .  A yummy alternative to buffalo wings.}

It's officially fall and that means it's time for football!  One of my readers and friends has asked me to write an entry on my ideas for a football/tailgating party.  Even if you're not someone who loves football, this can still be a great way to support your husband and throw a party :) So let the fun begin... First you'll need to dress up the table for your party.  Pick a tablecloth in one of your team's colors and layer a grass table runner on top.  You need a field for football, right?  If you want to buy a real grass runner like this one, you can spend around $50 dollars.  If you want almost the exact same look for less, pick up a couple of moss table runners at Michaels for around $15. Now for the part that everyone loves...the food!  You can still use the normal desserts like these store bought brownies, but add a little team spirit by garnishing your treats with your team's colors.  In this case, m&m's as seen on Porterhousedesign...
