October 10, 2009 Tailgate Menu

on October 10, 2009

in Healthy Tailgate 2009

Morning! We’re leaving soon for another University of Miami football game. I had a yummy and stabilizing breakfast:

First up: COFFEE!

And banana oatmeal:

My oatmeal contained:

1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 sliced banana
Toppings: coconut, almonds, flax

I feel a little sore from my long run yesterday, but my knees feel fine! I slept like a rock though. 🙂

Healthy Tailgate Time!

It’s time for another Healthy Tailgate, sponsored by Arnold Bread! Nothing like tailgating in South Florida, huh?! 🙂

October 10, 2009 Tailgate Menu

Appetizer: Apples Slices, Stacy’s Cinnamon Pita Chips, and Pumpkin Dip

Entree: Grilled Asparagus and Cheese “Hot Dogs” on Arnold Bread buns

Side Dish: Vegetarian baked beans (not homemade; I’m too lazy and the canned ones are too good!)

Side Dish: Fruit Salad

We’re watching the game (which starts at 7 PM) and then driving home. It’s going to be a loooooooooong night.

Go Canes!

Your healthy tailgating menu is so impressive and inspiring! Everything sounds so good—you don’t need chicken fingers when you have all those tasty options. And using coconut on your oatmeal is such a good idea—I’m definitely trying that!

I miss tailgating so much! Living in nyc, you don’t really get to tailgate…granted I only went to Redskins games–aka, the deadskins–but still, SO FUN! Have fun at the game and those canned veg baked beans ARE amazing. 🙂

I’m going to make some oats for this week and reheat them all week. I even have bananas since the blogosphere says it makes them so yummy!

Enjoy the game!

Sounds like a great tailgate! I’ve never been to one, but I’m thinking I should do that before football season is over! Especially for my school–footballs not really our thing haha.

I hope you have a fun day, and come out with a WIN!!!! The menu sounds healthy and delicious.

If you ever want an easy but delish homemade vegan baked bean recipe, let me know….just requires opening a few more cans ;p

Julie October 10, 2009, 4:22 pm
Pumpkin dip? Sounds delish.
Jennie October 10, 2009, 5:01 pm
What brand of beans do you buy? I love baked beans too and am too lazy to make them myself.
Shelly October 10, 2009, 6:48 pm
You made the pumpkin dip!! How was it? And will we be seeing pumpkin dip topped oats tomorrow? 🙂
I’ve been chowing down on canned baked beans this week! For lunch I top a little brown rice with the baked beans, then add chopped tomato, green onion,cilantro, sprouts and a drizzle of BBQ sauce. It’s a nice change from my usual black beans and rice with salsa, which is my lunch time staple.
Nicole October 10, 2009, 8:02 pm
Asparagus “hot dogs” sound so good! I’ll have to try that. What brand are those dishes? We sold them at the first store that I worked in and I can’t remember the name. It’s a cute and inspirational line.

Would you believe I’ve never tailgated before? It’s not really my thing, but I’d definitely come to yours- that menu looks killer!

Hi Caitlin, is the coconut you put on your oatmeal sweetened or unsweetened? Thanks!
- caitlin October 12, 2009, 9:56 am
  that’s sweetened but i prefer unsweet for obvious reasons. i can only find it at whole foods, though, so when i was there last week i stocked up on a big bag!!!:)
