Fortunately, I am married to a man who could care less about football, so I have never had to worry about becoming a “football widow”. However, for anyone who does have a hubby or boyfriend or even loves football themselves, I have some great Football Fuel recipes from StarKist Tuna that is sure to make everyone happy. Even when someone IS arguing with the TV =)
