WOW! What a Football Season we have had! The teams that we thought were sure bets didn’t make it, and the teams that I thought had smaller chances made it! Of course.. That has nothing to do with the teams that I really wanted to make it. Hee hee. I just can’t believe that we are already so close to the big game!!!

We’re going to be keeping it low key this year, but there are some little recipes that we love to make no matter what! I mentioned a couple in my previous post about Game-Time Entertaining.. and here they are!

Smoked Garden Salsa

What you need:

3 large tomatoes

1 onion

1 bulb garlic

3-4 jalapeños de-seeded

1 bunch cilantro

Salt & pepper

lemon juice

How you make it: 

Take the tomatoes, onion, garlic and jalapeños and place them on the smoker. If you don’t have a smoker, you can grill or even broil your veggies… just cook them on low.

Once they’ve softened, remove them from the smoker and put them in the refrigerator to chill. After they’ve cooled off, put them into the blender (We have a Ninja) or food processor, along with the cilantro leaves. Don’t use the whole stems… Pulse until well blended. You can keep it somewhat chunky, or smooth it out. Add about a tablespoon of lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. It’s that easy!

Ro-tel Cheese Dip

What you need:

1 can of Ro-Tel

1/2 brick of cream cheese

How you make it:

Combine the Ro-Tel and Cream Cheese in a medium saucepan and cook on low heat until the cheese is melted!

You can serve both of these dips with taquitos, or my new favorite Tostitos Cantina Thin Tortilla Chips!

We love making things that are super easy. It gives us more time to hang out with everyone else, and it also makes it really easy to replace them quickly when we run out!

Walmart makes it easy for you to prepare for your big game parties, and you can be sure you’re getting the best price with their Every Day Low Prices, and their Low Price Guarantee!!!

Have fun!!! And I hope your team wins!
