#MomsCheckIn
Three other moms and myself get together each week to talk about a different topic related to moms and kiddos. We often invite a co-host for the week because well, you know…..the more the merrier! Moms have a lot to offer when it comes to talking about dirty diapers and date night, so we’re always all ears! If you’re a mom who also has a blog, and you want to co-host with us one week, just fill out this form!
Okay, now on to our topic this week.
Football Games vs. Food!
All the football fans would know that football season started yesterday. September marks the beginning of football and yesterday, Sept. 4th, the Packers played against the Seahawks. M’kay, I’m gonna be 100% honest here. I had NO idea. We don’t watch football, but I DO use football season as an excuse to eat and get together with family. They can watch football all they like, but you’ll find me somewhere, eating.
So what about you?
When football season begins are you more excited about
THE GAME…….OR THE FOOD?
“Yeah, football is FUN but I’m totally in it for the food. I don’t watch football but I use football season as an excuse to eat all the awesome gameday foods that you see floating all over Pinterest! My fave snack is this spicy southwest dip!! Oh, and Go Colts!!”

My favorite part of football season is the beautiful autumn weather but that wasn’t one of the choices! Between the game and the food, definitely the food. I love appetizers and lots of ‘em! I really enjoy sampling a variety of tastes. Bite-sized appetizers satisfy without filling you up too much…unless you keep sampling! I have fun creating them too.

Bring on football! While I love the dips, BBQ and snacks it brings out – I actually love the game! On game day you can find me decked out in team colors and saying things like “ohhh come on!” or “Even I could have caught that!” (which is a lie….) or my favorite, “TOUCH DOWN!”

The food! I’m not much of a football fan to be honest, but I’ll watch with the family just because it’s something we do together to wrap up the weekend. Usually you can find a big pot of chili cooking in the crockpot and some veggies and dip on the kitchen table at our house. And I may or may not use football as an excuse to pretend I’m watching TV while dozing on the couch. Shhh….
