We are Hormel bloggers, and we receive a yummy food package each month. Below is a photo of our package this month.
It’s getting colder outside…brrr and inside we are thinking up ways to stay warm. Some of my favorite things about Fall (I LOVE Fall!) are comfy clothes, cuddling on the couch (even if we are watching sports—I’m a girly girl, but I’ll do this for my boys–It’s true love!), and cooking! Speaking of cooking, I love to cook and Fall seems to be the time when I really get creative.
One question I have is…do you have or attend tailgate parties?
Hormel Foods recently conducted a study about tailgating. According to the study, more than 76% of fans say that tailgating is a crucial part of the game day ritual, but 73% would rather enjoy their own foods than stadium foods. I have to say that I love when friends come together with foods! What about you? Do you prefer the food of yourself and your friends, or stadium foods?
Below are a few super fun recipes (provided by Hormel) for you to try this fall!
