These 25 healthy snacks are the perfect way to score on game day for everyone!
Hello friends! I’m back among the living for now. Man, that preschool cold really took me out. I haven’t worked out or walked very much, just surviving over here! Hoping to get back in the swing of things this week! In the meantime, I have something very out of the blue to share with you. This year, I kind of …. actually… might I say… enjoy watching football?!?!?
I KNOW! After years of not understanding and hating the slow-moving four-hour ordeals of football, something about this year just clicked, and I’m kind of into it. Let’s be honest, I still don’t know diddle squat about it, but it seems less boring and makes more sense this year. I don’t know. I can’t explain it. Maybe it’s Mr. Hungry explaining football to KJ, our oldest son. It’s like he’s explaining it to me too. Maybe it’s family time to hang out in the living room together with the game on.
Either way, this year, this season, I’m here for it. So, I thought it would be fun to round up all the healthy football snacks we love to make over here! And there is a lot of them because up until this year, I focused on the food > and the actual football game.
Tag me if you make any of these! I love to see what you guys make! You can tag me on Insta @hungryhobbyRD and Facebook @hungryhobby!
