The start of fall immediately triggers the Jones household to pull out the generator, pop up tent, and grill because we are some tailgating loving people! The smell of charcoal at 9 am, the stadium in the background of all your pictures, and the trash talk from tent to tent just stimulates the competitive juices in our souls.
That being said, tailgating foods are some of the worst when it comes to processed, fatty, and carbo-loaded. So, I decided to collect and try an array of Tailgate Makeovers. Some of these I’ve made before and will make again. Some I’ll be trying out this weekend on those boys who “don’t diet.” J
