The big game is this weekend...ISU vs Iowa...go Cylcones!

I love to tailgate for many reasons...great fall weather, exciting football, friends and family, good drinks, oh and the food. I try to bring a few "healthier" options amongst the sweets and salt.

Give these a try at your tailgate for a for sure touchdown :)

Tailgate Pretzels

20 oz pretzels (1 bag)

1 c olive or canola oil

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp cayenne

1 package Hidden Valley Ranch dry packet

mix sauce together and pour over pretzels

divide into two pans

bake at 200 degrees for 1 1/2 hours, stir ever 20 min (although me being impatience only bake them for about an hour)

Since is is a morning game you may enjoy the mini pumpkin recipe (in the August blog archives under whole wheat pumpkin cranberry muffins)

another great recipe is the deviled avocado eggs (in July Archives)

Go State!

Until next time...

look good, feel good, do good
