Some people love the winter season, and some may prefer the warmer summer months or the crisp cool Fall breeze. As much as I love all of the changing seasons we have in this life, there’s only one season of the year that gets me really excited. If there’s one thing that I know to be true, it’s this:

Kickoff Mexican Caviar and Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos

Whether you’re tailgating with friends or homegating on your couch, there’s one thing that is an absolute must to make your game day experience a winning one: Good Food

We’re a couple of weeks into football season, and each week I’ve been thinking of  new ways to “spice” up our game day spread. I could stick to my Southern roots and make a few more traditional things such as BBQ with all the fixin’s, but that’s just not saucy enough for me this time around.

This time I’m taking it way down south (as in south of the border) with a few twists on some of my favorite Mexican-inspired dishes, and we’re counting down the minutes until kickoff so we can dig in to my Kickoff Mexican Caviar and Cream Cheese Chicken Taquitos!

"Kickoff" Mexican Caviar Dip is an AMAZING dip to kick off gameday on a winning note! Pair it with homemade spicy cream cheese and chicken taquitos and you've got a recipe for awesomeness! #MakeGameTimeSaucy #ad…

Do you feel it? That slight change in the morning air? You know, that tiny little preview of Summer fading into Fall when the temperatures start changing? Even though it was for a very, very brief moment this morning, I finally felt it. It’s been long awaited, and it was definitely warmly welcomed. Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. Sure, the cool weather, cozy long sleeved shirts and boots and all of the pumpkin flavored things are great, but my heart loves this time of year for one thing in particular:

Football

 The excitement that football season brings is unlike any other. Here in the South, football is bigger than big, and the devotion to our teams is unmatched. The hometown and state rivalries are beginning to gear up. Football schedules are going up on the refrigerator and everyone is making plans to tailgate, throw a get-together or crowd around the couch to catch all of the big games this year. Yup, when I caught that brief, cool breeze this morning, I definitely felt it. Football season is upon us, y’all!

Touchdown Taco Cups - if you're planning on tailgating or throwing a party to watch the big game, these taco cups are a must! No more gathering around the dip bowl! Stock up on all of your game day essentials at Family Dollar! #GameTimeHosting #ad…
