I'm a Georgia Bulldog through and through. (Go Dawgs! Despite this lackluster season.) However, I've also been adopted by one of my husband's alma maters, the University of Southern Mississippi. In fact, I've taken to the Golden Eagles — and they to me — so strongly that I've been to more games in Hattiesburg than I attended in Athens (which is to say more than one). What brings me back is the accessibility, the friendliness of fans and, of course, the food. These people throw down.
This year, we wanted to include Josie in the tailgating festivities. But since she's not able to handle barbecued brisket or Zapp's potato chips, I was wondering what she could have.
I decided to pack foods that she is able feed herself, with flavors she likes and that have a bit more texture so she can practice chewing (though she still has no teeth?!).
On the menu for Josie:
- steamed sweet potato
- banana pieces
- cottage cheese
- pureed pears
- a biscuit
- puffs
It's (mostly) healthy and I think she'll like it. It doesn't scream tailgate food, but I'm holding down the junk food end of the spectrum. After all, I started my day with a giant eggs and biscuit breakfast followed by a handful of Junior Mints (those count as a vegetable).
