Jalapeno Popper Potato Skins

January 31, 2022 Amanda Plott

Potato skins are just a lot of fun to make and eat. They’re kind of the perfect vehicle to get almost anything savory into your mouth by way of finger food - which makes them absolutely perfect for game day and tailgating! I decided to take these potato skins a step further, making them into a mix of two of my favorite football food snacks; potato skins and jalapeño poppers.

That’s right, these potato skins are loaded with jalapeño, cream cheese, bacon, and cheddar too. They’re the best of both tasty treats all put into one perfectly baked bite of cheesy goodness. I don’t know about you, but I like to use the biggest potatoes that I can find…

Blooming Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla Ring

January 25, 2022 Amanda Plott

It’s that time of year where tail gating and football food is on the mind. I don’t know about you, but I always think of buffalo chicken when I think of game day eats! I decided to take some buffalo chicken and another favorite of mine, the quesadilla, and put them together into one deeeeeelish bite! And what better way to enjoy both than in the shape of a blooming ring!

These pull apart bites of buffalo chicken and cheesy goodness are perfectly dipable, drinkable, and perfect for your game day snack line up OR as part of a dinner! I served mine for dinner with a side salad, but you better believe they’ll show up again on my next game day spread…

Buffalo Chicken Nachos

August 4, 2021 Amanda Plott

It won’t be long now and it will be football season. I should know, my daughter is a cheerleader this year! I’m always down for gameday food, but I think this year will be that much more special. And nothing says gameday or tailgating quite like buffalo chicken. Let me just say too, these easy Buffalo Chicken Nachos are where it’s at.

I found some gluten free lime multi grain chips at the store, and just knew they would go perfectly well with some sort of buffalo chicken goodness. And here we are! These nachos are a little Tex-Mex mixed with just a touch of an American favorite; buffalo chicken…

Game Day Chicken Spread (With Skinny Special Sauce for Dipping!)

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. The opinions and text are all mine.

It’s that time of year when school is in session, the weather is starting to maybe think about cooling off, and game day is upon us! Game day get togethers that feature spreads are some of my family’s favorites. I think maybe it’s something about the variety of bite-sized finger foods that just make everyone happy. That’s where the inspiration for this Game Day Chicken Spread came from.

This spread is focused around chicken. All sorts of chicken too! And the best part is that it’s easy to put together and is completely versatile with everything from a set up for chicken street tacos, to popable bites, to dunk-friendly nuggets!…

It’s finally here. We’re down to the finally 7 days before school lets out for the summer for my kiddo and I honestly thing that at this point, I’m more excited than she is. I just want to get through the next few days and have the freedom of summer ahead of us. That being said, I’m also in the throes of getting beach-bum ready. And that means watching what I’m eating and doing all the more.

With my focus on all that, and summer being the season of snacks around here, I decided to make some fun Burger Bites! These Burger Bites are so good too. Perfect for a snack sort of light summer friendly meal or quick appetizer. They start out with a burger meatball paired with all the burger classics; tomato, lettuce, pickle, cheese, and of course a tater tot!…

Just because the holidays are over doesn't mean that the entertaining has stopped. At least, that's how it is around my place. I like to think of my house as the central hub. The neutral territory. THE place to be. At least once a week there is something going on and I've got a house full of people.

My daughter and I are usually outnumbered by the boys too. Even when my mom comes to visit, if you're counting the animals, we're still outnumbered by at least 2 to 1. So more often than not, when there are people over, I like to stick to food that I know the menfolk will enjoy while also trying to keep my womanly figure. That's where these Armadillo Eggs come in...
