The #10DaysofTailgate Kick-off (aka "The Program")

Our #10DaysofTailgate sponsors #tailgating #gamedayfood
How fun is it to have a kick-off to reference during a tailgating event! Just me? That's okay, I'll take it. Arm raised, cutting a tornado in the air, chant growing ever-louder, and then BOOM - let the game begin!

Today I'm joining a group of amazing bloggers and awesome sponsors to bring you a ten day tailgating event, hosted by Camilla of Culinary Adventures with Camilla. Each day we'll be featuring recipes fit for game day, from drinks and appetizers to meats and side dishes to desserts—and everything in between.

But not only do we have good food and drink to share, we also have some fantastic products to give away! Our sponsors have generously donated all sorts of things that will come in handy on game day. Whether you're a grill-master, a condiment queen, or a side-dish sourcerer, we've got something elevate your game all season long!

This post will feature all of the info you need during the event, including a list of our sponsors and our list of giveaway items (plus the rafflecopter widget you'll need to enter for a chance to win). Let's just call this "the program". The parking lot officially opens at 9am ET today, so be sure to come back and check out the recipes. Now, I won't be posting a new recipe every single day during the event—that's what our group (team!) is here for.
