Gridiron Tasty Tailgate hits home on many levels; we love tailgating, we love food and we love fellowship.  I am so excited to bring you up close and personal into my favorite and super simple tailgating recipes, tailgating entertaining tips, fun and favorite tailgating décor and serving ware and various other tailgating recommendations. Huddle up on Gridiron Tasty Tailgate so that you can rock your next tailgate with friends and family!  

Grade school, high school, college or pro;  there is always a reason to throw a tailgate for your favorite team.  Tailgating can be as simple or elaborate as you would like, as long as everyone is together and in the team spirit.   

As the wife of a football coach, we take tailgating pretty serious and the food is the most important part.  I like to make sure that everyone is fed and full of energy.  Gridiron Graham Nut Mix is one of my go–to menu items and is a snack that can be enjoyed before the game, during the game or after.  This tailgate snack mix is a combination of salty and sweet, can be customized with your team colors and can be scooped into mini megaphones for kid fun or the perfect hostess gift.  

Whether you are attending a tailgate, in need of a quick and delicious after game snack for the team or to survive a double header tournament games, throwing a party or looking for a fun hostess gift Gridiron Graham Nut Mix is quick, easy and super delicious!
