Snacks and Meals for Any Night of Football
Fall is in the air. You can almost smell it, save the stuffy nose – but you can feel it too! The crisp thin air, the crunch of the leaves, that smokey smell on the wind. But inside the home there’s a difference too. The air is warmer and closer, there’s the smell of baking, and of course the sound of football and excitement.
Sometimes a game or two on a Sunday afternoon can be fun, but when guests get involved it can be difficult to keep everybody fed and happy. Entertainment isn’t the issue here, the eyes are glued to the play-by-play action, but what about snacks? Here at Mrs. Wages® we have no shortage of good ideas. Here are three ideas for snacks no matter the day of the week.
Taco Tuesday on a Monday
It’s crunch time. Monday night football is just around the corner and you are hosting the game. What do you do? Taco Tuesday – on a Monday.
Grab your favorite tortillas, your favorite meat, and all the fixings. Now grab some Mrs. Wages® Instant Taco mixes, like the Roasted Bell Pepper & Garlic, or the Fire Roasted Tomato & Toasted Onion and get to work! You can even use smaller tortillas to try out different flavor combinations. The best part? The perfectly seasoned meat can be ready in under 10 minutes.
