10 Minute Tailgate: Rutgers

This week the Rutgers Scarlet Knights travel to Blacksburg to face the Hokies in Lane Stadium.  I have put together a menu this week that is perfect for a mid day tailgate!  for the main dish I created a twist on the old 'Pig in a Blanket" but substituted at Jersey staple... Taylor Ham... or Pork Roll, depending on what part of Jersey you hail from.  Any way you say it, this is an great recipe and a perfect handheld treat for your tailgate.  

The cocktail this week is the Bald Jack Rose.  It's made with Apple Brandy and lemon juice and dates back to the early 1920's.  Its light and tasty, tastes good up or on the rocks and is easy to make on site!

Thanks for Tuning in and Enjoy!
