The Gameday Breakfast

by

Game Day Breakfast

As a second generation Florida Gator, I learned the importance of a substantial gameday breakfast early on.  And since I’m a savory breakfast kind of gal, egg sandwiches have always been my gameday go-to.

HEB Spicy Corn Relish

When I opened my September HEB Primo Picks box, visions of spicy egg goodness immediately popped into my head.  I toasted up some sprouted wheat bread, topped with sliced avocados, an over-medium egg, and HEB‘s Spicy Relish that Corn.  I dove in with a fork and knife (which were oh so necessary) and immediately wished I had more avocado so I could treat myself to seconds – it was SO wonderful.

Texas Tea and Vodka

Wonderful and… hot!  I dug through the box to see what I could snack on to calm the burn, when I found the perfect thing: Peach Texas Tea.  And then I thought “if this is a gameday breakfast, then surely this tea should be turned into a cocktail”.  So there ya have it!  As I cheer on the Gators in Austin this season, I’ll be enjoying a Texa-fied start to my gameday with a spicy corn relish egg sammie and a Texas Tea with a splash of Tito’s.

An Orange And Blue Affair

I’m heading to Gainesville for the first time this season.  I’ve packed my Gator scarf, orange beads, and blue vintage DVFs for the occasion.  Oh, and nostalgia. I’m packin’ lots and lots of nostalgia.

Every year, a group of my sorority sisters deem one home game as GDR (game day reunion).  We travel from near and far, sport our finest orange and blue, and post up at a prime tailgating location.  Last year was our second GDR without Jordan, but our first year with a new tradition in her honor: An Orange and Blue Affair.

I am undoubtedly a better me because of Jordan and I look forward to a weekend full of celebrating her memory.  See you soon Gainesville!
