Rebel Recipes | Kick back and enjoy simple, delicious gametime snack: Hot Pepper Jelly Dip
OXFORD, Miss — I can’t believe we are at the conclusion of the regular season, and what a long, strange trip it’s been. Even more strange is that the Egg Bowl is on Friday instead of Thursday. I know nobody wants to cook on Friday after the Thursday feast, so I have a simple, delicious gametime snack recipe.
On a serious note, I am so thankful for my Ole Miss family. I am thankful for our players, as well. Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season with great memories (and hopefully the college football playoffs)! GTHMSU!
