Good evening everyone!

How was your weekend? Mine was…crazy good!

In case you don’t watch college football, Iowa lost. I know – I’m so sad that their winning streak had to come to an end AND our quarterback got injured. BUMMER! Fortunately, tailgating under the moon a lot of fun!

My parents and I got there briiiiiight and early – we set up shop at 7:30am and the parking lot was already full and bumping!

I kicked things off with a Bloody Mary. My Dad makes a meeeean bloody mary – they’re his specialty!

The food spread was also intense and included one of my favorite treats…

Candy Corn and Honey Roasted Peanuts! I had about 26 handfuls. I actually don’t love either thing by itself, but together they are one crazy-delish duo.  

The main dish was Boil-in-a-Bag Omelets and Hashbrowns. My Dad played grill master. He did a great job!

These boil-in-a-bag omelets are genius! All you do is combine eggs and any topping you’d put in a normal omelet: peppers, mushrooms, cheese, ham, onions, etc. in a plastic ziploc bag, boil in a big pot of water for 10 minutes…

And viola! No clean up and a perfectly fluffy omelet – awesome! I had a few bites of my Mom’s…I was too busy eating candy corn and peanuts…

Soon enough – my girlfriends arrived! Kickoff was at 11am and we didn’t have tickets, so when my parents shut down the tailgate to head to the game, we headed to the bar to watch.

Where…

I drank this dynamic duo. H2O is an afternoon drinkers friend!

I caught up with my friends…

Took some time to get my swing on…

Played some quarters…

And did some dog watching. Nice sunglasses bud!

Even though the team lost, I still had a great time with my family and friends. There’s always next week!!

Off to go to dinner with Ben’s parents – Mexican is on the menu!
