Cougar Football Cookbook

by

I love BYU, and even though I don’t get to watch it very often, I love BYU football!  I mean, how can I not being a BYU grad and all.  I have to cheer for my school!  We don’t have TV, and I am totally fine without it, except when football season starts.  I love having a good BYU football game to watch!

I also love cookbooks!  So when I saw that the two were combined I was totally down with reviewing this book. Cougar Football Cookbook is a collection of 150 favorite recipes of BYU players and coaches, past and present.  It includes Appetizers, Tailgating Treats, Salads, Side Dishes, Main courses, Soups and Stew, Desserts and Beverages!
The cookbook is compiled by Holly Mendenhall, the wife of the BYU head football coach Bronco Mendenhall.  The cool thing about this book is ALL proceeds from it will benefit Thursday’s Heroes, through Bronco and Holly’s Fully Invested Foundation,  a nonprofit initiative to help children and families who are facing significant life changes.  
Want to know a little more about Thursdays Hero’s…

Since 2006, more than ninety “Thursday’s Heroes” have been honored by the BYU football team. WHO are Thursday’s Heroes? Children and families who are inspiring examples of courage and strength in facing adversity.WHAT is the Thursday’s Heroes program? Heroes receive gifts and autographed Cougar memorabilia and an invitation to watch the Thursday football practice, tour the Cougars’ sports facilities, and meet the team.

I am excited to try a bunch of the recipes in the book.  They are simple easy recipes, that look so yummy.  I think I will start with the Cowboy Cookies for my hardworking husband!

Have an awesome weekend!
