Are You Ready For Some Football Wisconsin!!




Along with her love for cooking,
my Grandma Rose passed her love for football
on down to me....


My Grandma Rose never missed a Green Bay Packer Game or a
Wisconsin Badger Game.
She died at 94 years old and
still watched the Packer Game every Sunday.
During a Packer Game,
especially if the Packers were losing,
my sweet, soft spoken,
very lady-like Grandma,
would cuss like a trucker driver!

Football games wouldn't be the same
without some sort of  pre-game snack...
a.k.a appetizer...a.k.a. tail gate food.

These "snacks" shouldn't be confused with
half -time food....which
can range from grilled brats to
prawns in garlic butter.
In my family especially,
we are all about the appetizers...
game day just won't be the same without
three or more "snacks and dips" (per 2 people)

Here in WI,
we take our football very seriously.
Football is a way of life for many of us.
We pass our love for football down to our children and
our grandchildren.
It's just who we are.

If you ever get a chance to visit Green Bay WI,
Madison WI or Wisconsin during the football season,
you'll understand what all the fuss is about.
