My favorite ‘Homegating’ tips & recipes as seen on Fox 29’s Good Day Philadelphia
Ever hear of the term “Homegating”? It’s tailgating with a twist, which brings all the excitement, food, and fun of game day right into your own home. And what better way to kick off football season than by cheering on the Eagles from the comfort of your couch?!
Fox 29’s Jenn Frederick asked me to join her on Good Day Philadelphia for a Homegating segment, where I shared some of my favorite game day recipes ahead of the Eagles’ home opener. Jenn and I first met years ago at QVC, so getting to work with her again was such a treat and I was beyond excited to be invited on the show! Sharing my tips, recipes, and hacks for game day gatherings on one of Philadelphia’s top morning shows was such an amazing experience, and Jenn’s fun and lively energy made the segment such a blast for everyone involved! I created the ultimate spread filled with delicious dishes that were all served on my Temp-tations Football Collection to bring tailgating vibes straight to your table.
In addition to all of the recipes I shared on Good Day Philadelphia, I had to add in a few hometown favorites including tomato pie and snacks from Carlino’s Market, Eagles-themed cupcakes and cookies from Isgro’s Pastries, and soft pretzels from Philly Pretzel Factory!
