Now that football season is gearing up, I know there are people out there who're beginning to scour Pinterest for the best tailgating ideas.

Football is an important American past time, but so is food. So here are 5 cute and easy tailgating foods that will hopefully last time halftime.

1. Something cute, something simple: football pretzel rods!

This recipe, found at Sarah's Bake Studio, is not only simple but adorable. It's got the mix of sweet and salty, while also being completely in theme with the party. It's a great handheld snack, and one that will definitely keep the little ones at the party entertained, too.

2. Buffalo chicken skins: a perfect, spicy handheld.

Potato skins are practically a party staple. They can be found at any game-day party, as well as any sports bar during the off-season. These, though, found on Three Olives Branch's website, put a spin on the classic food by using buffalo chicken. It adds a little bit of spice to a dish that's all about the toppings!

3. Honey mustard snack mix: taking snacks to a whole new level.

This recipe, found at Julie's Eats and Treats, genuinely makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Football parties are all about hand-held foods, and this finger food is definitely going to get you coming back for more. The honey mustard flavor, combined with the chex mix, is definitely going to be a tangy treat that everybody will love!

4. Jalapeño guacamole: a classic, with a twist.

Just like the potato skins, this recipe puts a simple, yet awesome, twist on a party favorite. In this recipe, Cooking Divine, puts jalapeño peppers into the guacamole mix, for some extra oomph. It's sure to keep your guests on their toes!

5. And, finally, a dessert: football dirt cups.

Of course, you've got to have dessert for your guests! This one, found on The First Year, is a perfect one for your party. Not only is it an adorable football theme, but the clean up is easy, and it's pretty simple to make.

In the end, no matter what food you pick for your party, your guests are going to have fun. These foods, though...will blow your guests away!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
