The Menu: Tailgating 🏈

Whether I'm in a parking lot or a campsite, I absolutely love cooking and eating outdoors, and tailgating is the perfect excuse to get the grill out. Here's how to make a full spread to safely accommodate any diet, with lots of things that can be prepared ahead to simplify your Game Day, without sacrificing on flavor or fullness.

In Your Stanley:

• "WaterTok" But Make It Healthier #1: The Cosmopolitan Woman (perfect if red is a team color)

• "WaterTok" But Make It Healthier #2: The Wild Irish Rose (perfect if green is a team color)

• "The" Iced Coffee + Maple Vanilla syrup

• Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate

The Munchies:

• The Snackle Box

• The Midwest Crudite Board

• BYO Tiny Sammies Board

On the Grill:

• Dijon Marinade

• Sweet Apple Marinade

• Lentil Burgers

• Viral Boiled Onion - pre-assemble the onions in their foil wrap, and add to the grill first thing.

• Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Delicata Squash with a Maple-Balsamic Glaze - grill in an aluminum pouch instead of roasting on a baking tray. You can pre-make the glaze.

• Baked Apples or Pears - wrap each cored & stuffed fruit half in aluminum foil - if you're doing this ahead, you may want to cover the exposed fruit flesh in lemon juice or citric acid. Place the foil-wrapped fruit halves on the grill, off from the main heat source (on a rack, if possible), and grill until soft.

In the Crock Pots:

• Honey Mustard BBQ Baked Beans

• Swedish Meatballs

• Steak & Pinto Beans - you can serve as-is, or make them into refried beans for a dip.

Sauces & Dips:

• Creamy Barbecue Horseradish Dip

• Copycat Bdubs Garlic Parm Sauce

• "Cheese" Sauce for Mac & Cheez, K, so Dip, etc
