Happy Friday my loves!

Are you ready to weekend like me? Yeah you are!

Especially when there’s football involved (if you’re into that kinda thing). but more importantly if there are buffalo things to be eaten. πŸ˜‰

I am not shy about sharing my love for all things buffalo related. But I’m also not shy about sharing my distaste for chicken wings. Meh. I can think of quite a few things I’d like to smother in sauce and devour than gnawing on a chicken bone. But that’s just me.

If you’re looking for something new and exciting to try for the big game this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! I’ve got all the buffalo love without a wing or drumstick in sight.
