Lunch Made Easy: Fun Football Ideas

If you've followed our site for a bit, it comes at no surprise to you that we are a football family. Obsessed even.
So, as you can imagine, this time of year is our absolute favorite. College football season is kicking off and the NFL preseason is just winding down. Plus, ya know, I have a Fantasy Football title to defend. Big things are at stake here people! ;)
Today happened to be College Day at school for Little Miss, where the kiddos were encouraged to wear their favorite college shirt. She, of course, wore her University of Michigan shirt (the fella and her favorite) and since they play football tonight against Utah, I knew a fun lunch was in need. 
Details on this lunch are included below (click that expand and read more button!) + fun football lunches we've made in the past, for added inspiration, for the fan in your family!

Lunch Made Easy: NFL Super Bowl Celebration!

If you've followed our site for a while, or know me personally, you're well aware that I am an NFL junkie.
It's true. I'm obsessed. I even was champion of my Fantasy Football League this year (yeahhh that's right! In a league of guys, the girl won! WOOT!)
I have my favorite team - the Colts, being an Indy girl at heart - so of course, in this years Super Bowl, I'm routing for Peyton Manning. Notice I did not say the Denver Broncos, I said Peyton Manning. ;) 
Anyways, my love affair with all things NFL has rubbed off on my Little Miss. Her favorite team? The Carolina Panthers. (She loves "Cam Cam", as she calls him.) However, we'll be butting heads during the Big Game because she also loves Russell Wilson (she likes to repeat her favorite Deion Sanders line "First Name Russell, Last Name Wilson" from the NFL Network -- see, told you we're junkies!)

My Date with Jerome Bettis "The Bus" {Football Legend & Severe Allergy Advocate}

My Date with Jerome "The Bus" Bettis: NFL Running Back, Super Bowl Winner, Future Hall-of-Famer, & Severe Allergy Advocate.
Okay, it wasn't a real date but rather an interview. Never the less, this "NFL junkie of a Mama" was SO stoked to be speaking to such an amazing person about his own journey dealing with food allergies and anaphylaxis, as well as, the new The Severe Allergy & Anaphylaxis Playbook he developed with Auvi-Q.

Lunch Made Easy: Draft Day!

We're rather huge NFL fans in this household and Thursday night is DRAFT NIGHT! Finally!!

The fella is a diehard Lions fan.

I'm a diehard Colts fan. (Spare me your Peyton Manning condolences, please. I'm still in mourning.)

Believe it or not, my Little Miss is a HUGE football fan as well. She watches on Sunday afternoons with us religiously.

She has about 8 favorite teams, lol, so I chose one of them for her lunch tomorrow. Mostly because a star was the easiest to cut out that small for the helmet, hehe... and she really only loves the Cowboys because Sandy Squirrel (SpongeBob) is from Texas... I forgive her for it too. LOL
