Game Day Tailgate Menu

Tonight’s the night! Not only is it the official start of football season in general, but it’s the first game for my Green Bay Packers! We have a tailgate potluck lunch at work today so I thought it would be a good day to share some of my favorite tailgating recipes with a great menu for any game day!

Happy [almost] long weekend and Happy Memorial Day! Tomorrow, Jason and I are headed down to a beach front cottage in Surf City with my sister, her husband, and kids. It’s supposed to be a beautiful weekend, a much needed break from the rain lately. After the last few weeks I’m ready for some sunshine and downtime. It’s been a while since I’ve felt like I can relax and I’m determined to this weekend.

Along with relaxing, this weekend usually means I’ll be eating my favorite meal: Low Country Boil. Growing up in the north, I had no idea what I was missing out on. Even though it sounds so “Southern”, the dish is pretty simple. The way you eat it might be the most Southern thing about it. If you’ve never heard of it either, you may have heard of “Frogmore Stew”; that’s what it used to be called. Below is the best recipe for Low Country Boil.
