    Glamorous gardening

    “It sounds like you need a hobby.” Those were the words of wisdom from a coworker upon hearing that my version of ~*adulthood*~ entails of working 8-5, then going home to lie in bed, eat dinner in bed and binge watching The O.C. while taking tweet breaks. A hobby? What’s that? Like exercising? * gasp * […]

  • Summer Soapbox: Volume 1

    Summer Soapbox: Volume 1

    People look forward to the summer for many reasons: the freedom to actually venture outside, grilling, deck beers, etc. It is all wonderful, but people still have needs, content needs. We all want to consume the hottest podcast or join in on the frenzy of a new Netflix series. So I created an outlet where your […]

    Getting dressed up

    Many are familiar with the year of transition that comes after graduating college. Jobs, surroundings and friends change. What I’ve experienced most is that hobbies change. My free time used to be filled with Netflix and hangovers, but recently my extracurricular activities have begun to resemble those of a middle-aged suburban stay-at-home mom. And I […]

    The Pressure Cooker Adventures ft. Deadeye Barbecue Sauce

    (Note: Deadeye is a sponsor of The Tailgate Society) A few weeks ago, some generous friends gifted my husband and I a countertop pressure cooker. My only previous experience with pressure cookers has come with the endless canning my mother and grandmothers and aunts did all summer and fall when I was a kid. All […]

    The fight for first in the frozen pizza feud

    You know the struggle—you’re at the grocery store with friends stocking up on food because you had nothing at home. You’re not shopping to win a Food Network competition, you’re there to find something cheap, something everyone will like and something that takes minimal skill to cook. There are only a couple of things that fall […]

  • The Holidays: A Tale of a Fat Man

    The Holidays: A Tale of a Fat Man

    My favorite time of year by far is the holidays. Halloween to New Year’s is filled with giving, togetherness, family and friends and tradition. The seasons change, the snow flies (at least in Iowa) and there just seems to be something magical in the air. Everyone seems to partake in this phenomenon. I love it. […]

  • Lost in the sauce

    Lost in the sauce

    In Texas, there’s a 13th commandment: Thou shalt not smother a well cooked piece of meat in sauce. For a majority of my life, I fell victim to believing this rule of thumb. If you cook a filet or a chicken breast or maybe even a thick ‘chop, and if you cook it RIGHT, you won’t […]

All the hot takes like #AllCondimentsMatter and ranch dressing hate lie within. Let us know who you agree with in the comments section or on social media. As […]
