Football Centerpieces with My Favorite Football Party Recipes

Football season to me means fun affordable football centerpieces and also game day recipes for healthy cooking!  I don’t want any stress so I have two simple centerpieces and when it comes to the recipes, that’s truly my expertise. I believe in portable football party centerpieces so if you want to decorate your tailgate, you are fine. If you want to make your home football party more festive, just add these easy football centerpiees for decorative touches. If you’re more the creative type, nothing is cuter than this pumpkin football as a centerpiece.  It might take a little extra time, but look how cute!

Even I Can Make these Simple Football Centerpieces!

Perfect for tailgating as this is one of those football centerpieces that transports easily.   And, who doesn’t have a basket or a football hanging around the house?  Pick up inexpensive mums and you don’t even have to re-pot them and use your favorite team’s pom poms. Arrange everything in the basket and you are done.  Easy and affordable and definitely a winning combination.  And, I turn to my easiest cookbook for some quick, simple, healthy and oooohhhh sooo good tailgating recipes in my cookbook, KITCHEN 101.  

Good Game Day Recipes

We have the easy football centerpieces so let’s figure out a tailgating menu. All you need is some good food!  My easy recipes that are even healthy make perfect tailgating or home parties.  I love football season and grazing so I have tons of football season recipes in all my cookbooks, because, after all I’m a LSU fan!  As you probably know, that means I’m just as serous about food as football.
