Football Showdown Recipes and Tips from Southern Plate!
So I hear tell we have a big old football game coming up next week. I won’t be pulling for any team in particular (growing up in Alabama you either embrace the football fandom or you run from it – and I run pretty fast) but when it comes to football I’m on the side of any team whose fans like to serve food – so with that in mind, here are some recipes that might come in handy!
Stuffed Pizza Sticks
My dad read this post on Southern Plate and immediately printed it off for my Mama to make for him. Since then he’s asked for it on a regular basis.
Mama, you better go get more pizza sauce!
Chicken Planks
Everyone’s Favorite – especially teens and kids!
Be sure to whip up some Comeback Sauce to go with ’em!
Little Pigs in A Blanket
My daughter’s favorite, these are always a hit with the kids!
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork BBQ
Pulled pork barbecue is pretty much heaven on a bun as far as I’m concerned and it seems every region has their own way of doing it. Where I am from, the barbecue is smoked and juicy, served as pictured here or with a little bit of clear mild vinegar sauce poured over it. Here is how to make it!
Tender Babyback Ribs – in the oven!
Love me some Babyback ribs – especially when they’re this easy!

Football is, after all, a wonderful way to get rid of your
aggressions without going to jail for it.

What kind of non-believer are you!! 😉
You can’t possibly live in Monrovia, ALABAMA and not pull for the Tide!
But keep the recipes coming, they and you are great! (even if you are a football athiest)
Lol!! I love it, football atheist!
That’s the only time folks can use that word on me, lol. Thanks for not throwing me off the cliff 🙂
Hey, Christy! I am sending up some prayers on your behalf. Hope you’re feeling all better real soon! Mary
Go Food!!! LOL we are not a sports family but any excuse to fix yummy foods will work around here! Doing BBQ sandwiches this weekend and the Twinkie Cake 🙂
Go Alabama!!!
I dont pull for either team but will be watching. Cant wait to see who will take the top spot. We are still ridin high from our bowl win here. Go GAMECOCKS!!!
The chicken planks are a year round favorite at my house. I add some dipping sauces-my fave being honey mustard. Kids like the comeback sauce and of course plain old bottled BBQ sauce is easy enough.
I’ve made the butterfinger cake several times. It’s always gone in no time. I really like the easy peasy cherry cobbler. I made one with cherry pie filling and one with blueberry filling. Everyone liked the blueberry one the best. Your recipes are just wonderful and so easy to follow. Keep up the great job your doing.
