  It's in the air - football. Finally, it is time for snack foods, buffet laden tables and tailgating. We can once again break out the crock pot and have some football TV time, if you can't afford to do real tailgating.
 This is a quick easy dip that can be made two ways depending on the time and ingredients you have. How can you go wrong with cheese? To make it even better, Kraft has come out with a new flavor that melts like a dream.
