Football season is here! As an avid Alabama fan (Roll Tide!), I love the fall and enjoy spending my Saturdays (post long run, of course) watching college football. I’m not a huge professional football fan, but I am a huge fan of competition and I’m in two fantasy football teams, so I do follow my players on Sundays (and Mondays and sometimes Thursdays). What goes perfectly with a game? Food of course! However, while I’m a fan of snacks (a BIG fan), I’m not always down for the calorie laden versions (sometimes I am). So I thought I’d share this round up of healthy tailgating recipes that you can pin or save and use as a go to all season long!

- Slow Cooker Kale and Artichoke Dip
- Skinny Buffalo Chicken Dip
- Roasted Red Pepper Hummus + Salsa

i’m kind of obsessed w/bacon wrapped dates so i loved your spin on them!
Thank you for including me! Seriously, they are my favorite muffins. I also do jalapeno cheddar muffins, but they are a little less good for you 😀

haha, sounds delicious! thanks for letting me share!
While I’m not super big into football, my entire work is so we watch a lot and have a few parties. I think I’ll have to try one of these for our next party!
Awesome! You should – I plan on trying a bunch 🙂
Wow, some really tasty sounding ones in here. I love “comfort” foods this time of year, although I’m also trying to shed weight in the off-season since I tend to put it on during peak training. Good to know of some healthier options!

I know!!!! My fav biscuits ever!!
I LOVE anything Buffalo chicken. They don’t show my games on TV here so I have to go to the bar from 12:30-4:00 to watch them. Healthy food goes out the window. 🙁 Last week it was buffalo wings. Maybe next week Buffalo nachos or Buffalo chicken dip.
