Hello, My name is Marissa Allen!

First & Full is where I share tested recipes, stories about life as an NFL wife, and occasionally share defining moments as a mother. 

I’m not quite sure how you found me, but I hope you  try my favorite Hatch Green Chili Enchilada Recipe, and stay for my beloved Tea Cakes!

Here on First and Full, I am always feeding somebody. If it’s not my family, its most likely my husband’s teammates.

My husband, Jeff Allen, is currently a veteran offensive lineman for the Houston Texans (6 years) and our life often revolves around the football schedule. You can expect tons of tailgating eats and delicious spreads perfect for hosting that watching party.

I started this blog four years ago as a way to share my life with our family back home and its has grown to be a place where I connect with people from all over the world, exchange kitchen stories, and document the things in my life that make my heart feel full.
