We discussed this morning how there are, like, so many delicious appetizers that are perfect for tailgating but mayyyyyyyybe not the healthiest choices to make if you want to be tiny or healthy or feel good or anything dumb like that.
IF you're in that category of folks FEAR NOT, there are options in your food-camp as well.
There are yummy HEALTHY options that you can contribute to any football watching, snack eating extravaganza.

Ahhhhhh, Bella Vita. It's one of my favorite restaurants EVER, and you'd never find it if you didn't know what you were looking for!
We went there right before Christmas with Jay's family for an early celebration, and it was a blast!
...
We're tailgating today, separately, and we hope you're doing something really fun too in this fabulous weather! Eat something yummy today and tell us about it!
Also, Photoshop is fun.
Love,
L and J
Real men also don't eat quiche, apparently.
I think that has something to do with real men not being able to spell, but that's juts my personal opinion.
To that point, 1. Jay is not a real man, and 2. real men are dumb.
I made this a few nights ago when my bff Heather came over to drink wine (out of bottles. we went high-end) and gossip about every single person we've come into contact with for the past 6 or so years in each of our lives.
Things like that can take awhile, and having a healthy, meat-free appetizer full of protein seemed like just the sustenance we needed.
And, Heather and I love hummus. And wine from bottles. Or boxes.
Blackened ChickenYou might remember from last week's post that, until last Saturday, I'd never been tailgating. I had, however, heard of the culinary lengths that people go to each week in preparation for a home game. The stories were all true!
I actually made this chicken last week when my friends Adam and Cara came over for dinner, but it would be PERFECT at a tailgate or cookout - two things that are happening a lot this weekend with the fabulous weather we've been having!

Asian Trout with 5-spice seasoning and toasted sesame seeds.
The Red Minnow is a hidden gem in Central, SC. Seriously, it’s almost out of sight from the road because it sits down in a little depressed piece of property with trees protecting the perimeter. It is a little old house that has been converted into a quaint supper club. From the outside décor to the inside décor, the feeling you get is rustic. Exposed beams, stone walk ways and fur pelts adorn the walls. I liked it immediately. I hate hunting, but something on my Dude DNA really lights up when I see a place that has taken interior design tips from Daniel Boone.
