Foodball: Smoky Hatch Chile Bacon Pimento Cheese

On 01/05/2015 By sarah sprague
Smoky Hatch Chile Bacon Pimento Cheese Hatch chiles give this pimento cheese a completely different profile. Both are a smoky pepper, but Hatch chiles match so well with the bacon, I’m pretty annoyed I didn’t have the idea to switch up my pimento cheese until this summer, as are pretty much all of my friends [...]

Foodball: Shepherd’s Pie Potato Skins

On 03/29/2014 By sarah sprague
Shepherd’s Pie Potato Skins So if two food items can be a trend, and I already posted a recipe for Poutine Potato Skins, then yes. Potato skins are something everyone loves for football watching. And as delicious as sour cream, cheese and bacon are in a twice-baked potato, they tend to feel heavy on your [...]

Foodball: Toasted BLT Bread

On 03/29/2014 By sarah sprague
Toasted BLT Bread A few weeks ago I was in the mood for the BLT Bites I’ve made a hundred times for parties and football Sundays. And while I love them, they can feel like a lot of work even though they are not much of a bother at all and I was feeling like [...]

Foodball: Jalapeños Stuffed With Chorizo And Corn Bread

On 03/29/2014 By sarah sprague
Jalapeños Stuffed With Chorizo And Corn Bread But going the extra distance to make beautiful stuffed jalapeños filled with moist corn bread, melty cheese and spicy chorizo isn’t that difficult. Making a perfectly golden crust is even easier. Give the poppers a break and make the real thing.

Foodball: Poutine Mini Potatoes

On 09/27/2013 By sarah sprague
Week Three. This is when we start to eat our feelings during football season. Steelers and Browns. Buccaneers and Panthers. New York Large People and Washington Skincolors. Vikings. Don’t need to say it but worth including, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hell, even Philadelphia Eagles fans might need a few extra carbs today after last night’s interception-fumbles-missed kicks-failed [...]

Deep Dish Skillet Pizza

On 02/01/2013 By sarah sprague
Deep Dish Skillet Pizza This doesn’t have the word “Chicago” in the title for a reason, so don’t come at me with how this recipe isn’t like Pizzeria Uno Chicago-based friends. I typically use less cheese than a typical deep dish pie because they’re already heavy and filling enough, and also because I like to [...]

Super Bowl Recipe Month: Throwback Week – Stuffed Baguette

On 01/11/2013 By sarah sprague
Stuffed Baguette You can almost hear the old Steelers-Cowboys rivalry fire back up with these stuffed baguette slices. Meat, cream cheese (a popular ’70s theme) stuffed into bread was a must at luncheons and parties thirty years ago. Now, you’ll notice I added sun dried tomatoes to this recipe, the most ’80s of ’80s ingredients. [...]

Scacciata – Stromboli’s and Calzone’s Sicilian Cousin: A Football Foodie Full Game Day

On 11/30/2012 By sarah sprague
Even the most adamant Team Pizza fans needs a break from heavy sauce, meat and cheese during the season, but there is nothing quite like tearing into warm dough with a cold beer while watching football. Enter the scacciata, a Sicilian variation of a calzone. Heavy on the vegetables and lighter on the cheese and [...]

Chorizo Stuffed Sweet Potato Skins: Football Foodie Fall Heat

On 11/09/2012 By sarah sprague
Like most people, I’m a sucker for a good twice-baked potato or potato skins with bacon, chives and cheese, but sometimes they’re lacking the depth needed for a satisfying snack. Enter the sweet potato, the better-for-you version of a starchy vegetable. While chorizo is not any healthier for you than bacon, it [...]

Bacon Chile Cheese Spinach Scrambled Eggs on Avocado and English Muffin Breakfast Sandwiches: Football Foodie Brunch

On 09/19/2012 By sarah sprague
A good, hearty breakfast sandwich serves two purposes, it gives you a good base of carbs and protein to start your day of yelling and screaming and it also helps eliminate any hangover you might have from either Friday or Saturday night to make sure you can actually spend a day yelling and screaming. Creamy [...]

Chicken Tikka Masala Wraps: 28 Days of Super Bowl Recipes

On 01/31/2012 By sarah sprague
There are few things my husband likes more than chicken tikka masala, so when the first weekend without Steeler football came around this postseason, I knew I needed to make something a little special to cheer him up for watching a black and gold-less football game. When we had visited Harrod’s in London last fall, [...]

Spicy Spinach Pancetta Balls: 28 Days of Super Bowl Recipes

On 01/27/2012 By sarah sprague
Spinach balls have been a cocktail party staple for decades, but I’m a firm believer that the old classic is begging to be spiced up with some hot pepper and some meaty pancetta.  I’ve never made these and not have them disappear within in minutes. Plus, these little bites can be prepared ahead of time [...]

Mini Twice Baked Potato Bites: 28 Days of Super Bowl Recipes

On 01/19/2012 By sarah sprague
Between Sirius/XM, ESPN, Twitter and my friends’ Facebook updates, I’ve been reminded that today marks the 10th anniversary of the Tuck Rule game. Earlier today I was just thinking how great it would be to have the complete NFL/NBA/NHL/MLB archives available to rewatch games on some sort of streaming service (stuck a pin [...]

Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day are the last two big NFL brunch days here on the West Coast. Throw in a few random early bowl games on January 2 plus the extra relatives you’ve got hanging around the next couple of weeks and you’re going to need an fast and easy — not to [...]

Italian Pressed Sandwiches

On 01/03/2012 By sarah sprague
This is one of the easiest game time and pregame tailgate items around as well as being one of the tastiest. Creamy fresh mozzarella cheese, spicy meats, smokey peppers, brightness of pesto on chewy bread. As long as you give your sandwich at least six hours to meld together — although it’s much better if [...]

Favorite Burgers: Pineapple, cole slaw, teriyaki and blue cheese on English muffins

On 01/03/2012 By sarah sprague
Continuing my lackadaisical Football Foodie off-season, a quick post about one of my favorite “NEED MEAT NOW, IRON LEVELS FALLING” meals; pineapple, cole slaw, teriyaki and blue cheese on an English muffin burger. The sweetness of the pineapple and the teriyaki, the bite of the blue cheese and the crunch of the cole slaw all [...]

Brunch Bread Bowls with Egg, Ham and Cheese

On 01/03/2012 By sarah sprague
Long time Friday Football Foodie readers know that as a West Coaster, where football starts prompt at 9am on Saturdays and 10am on Sundays, I absolutely love the Football Brunch.  You get to miss the three to four hours of meaningless pregame analysis, you can start drinking earlier if you want, and you are approximately [...]

Ham and Cheese Pretzel Bites

On 12/31/2011 By sarah sprague
Our football-loving friend and house guest Jeremy was on the phone with our non-football loving friend Damon when the Bengals intercepted Roethlisberger and returned the ball for a touchdown.   Second strike, since Damon has been known to jinx sporting events before.   Third strike?  Just as the final seconds of the game ticked down [...]

Artichoke, Olives, and Capers Crostini

On 12/31/2011 By sarah sprague
It is incredibly important to have a sound base.  A solid running game (THAT CAN PICK UP TWO YARDS ON THIRD DOWN MISTER-BRUCE-THROW-TO-THE-END-ZONE-ARIANS), some money stashed away in savings just in case you quit your day job, and bread that has been properly toasted.

Hot Pizza Dip

On 12/31/2011 By sarah sprague
And naturally, what do you do? How do you hide the nagging voice in your head telling you Bruce Arians has no idea what he’s doing with an offense? Well, you can bang your head on the wall continuously (as my boyfriend does), or you lose yourself in the food (like I do). Drown in [...]

Breakfast Strata

On 12/31/2011 By sarah sprague
Really, you can used whatever you want for the filling. Cooked sausage, bacon, just cheese and veggies (as long as they are not watery), you name it. You can also make this sweet strata by using cream cheese and raisins or other dried fruits. It is a good, “whatever the hell we have on hand” [...]
