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!

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.
