3 Tailgating Recipes to Kick Off Football Season

Every winning tailgate menu includes three strategies: great taste, good health and easy preparation.

Start by getting in formation with an easy entrée on the grill, Grilled Cajun Beef Steaks. The only pre-game prep required is stirring together the simple spice rub. Next, make an offensive play with more fruit on your tailgate menu – forward pass for Apple Salsa! No fumbles or fouls with this zesty, spicy and nutrient-rich chip-dipper. In fact, even non-tomato eaters will scoop up this easy salsa because it’s a tomato-free zone. Time for that final touchdown with an easy and portable dessert like Slice ’n Bake Maple Pecan Cookies. The crowd goes wild and gives you extra points as you’ve intercepted boring tailgate fare once again. Victory!
