Act 1 : Savories

1. Puff pastry makes these cheese twists super easy (to save time, you can make them in advance and freeze them!)

2. Make a batch of chili and serve it on top of hot dogs or tots to make a tasty snack!

3. Cut the pretzel rope into 2-inch pieces for delicious pretzel bites.  You can bake these ahead of time, freeze the bites, and reheat them in the microwave or oven before serving!

 4. With all the artery-clogging goodness you can eat at most football fiestas, sometimes a veggie or two is a nice break.

5. This loaded potato dip takes about two minutes to make, and you can make it a day or two ahead of time.  Warning: You will want to double or triple the recipe to have enough to serve your ravenous guests.

6. How about some sliders? The chipotle bacon variety, 5 chile turkey burgers, or just a build-your-own burger slider bar!

If you’re not in a burger mood, you could make sliders out of sloppy joes or (our favorite) beef sammies, too!

7. This easy salsa is made in your food processor or blender and only takes a few minutes!

Act 2: Sweets

1. Cut these brownies into football-shaped bites if you want.  I’m sure they’ll be just as enjoyable as squares, though :)

3. Mini oreo cheesecakes are a quick and easy (make-ahead) bite-size treat that are sure to please.  You could add food coloring to match them to your team’s color!

4. These toffee chip cookies are a favorite around these parts, they’re easy to make and you can freeze them pre or post baking to save yourself some time on game day.

Act 3: Drinks

1. Start infusing vodka today with berries or pineapple and it should be ready by the time game-day arrives.  Tip: the smaller you slice your fruit the faster your vodka will infuse!

2. Cut this solid hot chocolate into football shapes and you’ll have super bowl hot chocolate on a stick!

Thursday Things – HAPPY THANKSGIVING! – and what to do with your leftovers

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Today’s Thursday Things will be exactly what you’re looking for – How to use up those Thanksgiving leftovers.  After you emerge from your food coma, rub your eyes and say hello to Friday (or late Thursday night)… this post will be here for you.  To help get you through the large pile of food that remains from your Thanksgiving feast.

[ As always, click the picture to get the recipe ]

A simple sandwich is always the easiest answer to your Thanksgiving leftovers.  We usually make ours with leftover rolls (or whatever bread is around).  I’m currently crushing on this sandwich from Foodie Crush… so much so that I may even use it as my actual Thanksgiving dinner…


If you’re the “hair of the dog” type, maybe this hash will cure your Thanksgiving Hangover

If you’re feeling like you need some pasta in your life, try Brown Eyed Baker’s Turkey Tetrazzini

Or if you’re a southwest girl (as I am slowly mutating into) how about some Turkey Enchiladas?

If you’re feeling like an overstuffed turkey yourself, alleviate your guilt with A Periodic Table’s Chinatown Turkey Salad

And I’m no stranger to this whole rigged-soup idea from Serious Eats.  I used a similar recipe last year to turn our leftover turkey into turkey-and-dumplings soup!

If you’re still just too exhausted to even think about making an actual “meal”, you can always just make a sandwich, panini, or even a quesadilla, like this one from Momtastic…
