• Sriracha chicken wings

    sriracha chicken wings

    Chicken wings are one of those food items that everyone in the world except for me (and vegans) feel is necessary to eat while watching sports. I am perfectly happy to make something for everyone else, but since I hate Buffalo sauce and Sriracha is kind of a thing right now, I thought Sriracha wings […]

  • Go Navy!

    annapolis friends

    One of the first things we did upon arriving in the DC area was look up the Navy football schedule. We didn’t get season tickets or anything, but we did manage to get tickets for a few of the games, including the first home game of the season. I think you all know my philosophy on dressing […]

  • Snack stadium!

    Did you know that snack stadiums were a thing? I had never seen or heard of them until I saw a crazy one on Bon Appetit’s website a year or two ago. And I was out of town for the Super Bowl last year, so this year, after seeing this awesome snacknadium in the L.A. […]

  • Fab Fave Friday: Tailgating must-haves

    grilling

    Jen’s note: Fab Fave Friday is a recurring feature in which I highlight some of my favorite things — in all sorts of categories. Today’s category is tailgating. As someone who had never “tailgated” until college, I was under the impression that tailgating meant hanging around in the back of a truck in a parking […]

  • Cincinnati Bengals cookies

    Toby grew up a Bengals fan, and when we got married I became a Bengals fan by extension. It helps that several awesome Georgia Bulldogs now play for the Bengals (including Geno Atkins, Robert Geathers and A.J. Green). And that they signed a previously released player to the practice squad to to the practice squad […]

  • Go Navy, Beat Army!

    Today is the Army-Navy game, and this is the first year since 2009 that we won’t be attending. And we aren’t even throwing a game-watching party, since Toby is out of town! Of course, I will probably still wear some blue and gold (and some anchor jewelry), but I wanted to share some of our […]

  • How to dress for game day, SEC style

    Football was a big deal at my first high school — everyone went to the games, and the players were like celebrities. But even though I wore dresses and heels to school occasionally, Clueless-style, I don’t think I ever wore something like that to a football game. Football-watching attire is jeans and a sweatshirt, right? […]

  • Skinny spinach-artichoke dip

    There’s a lot of football on these days, but if you’re like me, you may be looking for something a little less gluttonous to snack on while you scream at the TV.   So, how about some spinach and artichoke dip, minus some of the fat? I found this recipe in an awesome cookbook I […]

  • Gooooo Georgia Bulldogs!

    In case you’re unaware (e.g. you live north of the Mason-Dixon line), tomorrow is the SEC Championship game. That’s Southeastern Conference, not the Securities and Exchange Commission. Anyway, Georgia is playing Alabama… which means we will be putting on our red and black and barking at the television tomorrow. If you’re cheering for the Bulldogs, […]

  • Cheesy mini pretzel dogs

    There are many wondrous things available at the Amish market in Annapolis. But Toby’s favorite is the pretzel dog. We have our friend Jose to thank for that, actually, because we may never have stood in the ridiculously long line for one if he hadn’t told us about them. Anyway, we don’t live in Annapolis […]
