Football Season!!

Clemson football is a lifestyle for us devoted fans. We tailgate hard and play for keeps. This past Saturday we had our season opener against Auburn....it was kind of a big deal. Our game was in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. My room mate found someone with an extra ticket, so I snatch that up. Here comes the fun part....I made all the food for our tailgate. Granted...it wasn't a lot, but I was impressed with myself. I made BBQ chicken and brownie bites...yuuuummmmy!

In our apartment we have this awesome tiger picture, so I think it's the perfect background for out tailgate prep. In the crock pot is the bbq, the brownie bites, and the other stuff in my basket. I know bbq, isn't considered baking, but it is sooo delicious so I decided the whole meal with you!

That is the BEAUtiful bbq that I made. It was super easy, but soo extremely yummy! I got this recipe from Pinterest...hurray!
