This might be the best week ever! This weekend is Labor Day and the kickoff of college football! If the men in your house are not fired up then you might need to check their blood pressure. My family is already asking “what are you going to fix for game day?” Well, I need things that are quick and easy to cook but will feed a crowd! Check out these super simple grill or oven friendly dishes. The best part is that they use FOIL! So the cleanup is simple. Nothing worse than doing dishes while everyone else is sacked out on the couch watching the game!
Now is the time to stock up on Bratwurst. Now you can buy the other brands but my go to is Schwab’s Bratwurst. Made right here in OKC and is the best I have ever had. In fact, I give them as gifts to out of town friends who have gotten hooked on them! So, if you have brat lovers in your house then get Schwab’s!
