Game Day Dip Recipes with Foster Farms Snacks #FFBracketBusters

As a parent I am always trying to find ways to incorporate fun and learning at the same time. Since my son seems to love basketball and even his homework in March has a basketball theme I decided this year we would watch some of the March college basketball tournament. I have been trying to learn more about the process of "bracketology" and must admit my bracket has been busted on the team I was rooting for. The fun still continues as my son and I are enjoying game time dunking of our own with my delicious dip recipes for our snacks. I baked Foster Farms Chicken Breast Nuggets and Mini Corn Dogs while I prepared my dips.


Recipe for Raspberry Honey Mustard Dip:

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup mustard
2 1/2 tbsp raspberry jam
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl. Cover and put in refrigerator for 1 hour. Serve with Foster Farms Mini Corn Dogs.


Recipe for Pineapple Lime Sweet and Spicy Dip:

2 medium sweet red peppers
2-3 cloves of garlic
1/3 cup of diced tomatoes (I use low sodium with chilies style)
1/2 cup of pineapples with juice ( I bought a canned version with juice included)
1 lime juice/zest
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp hot sauce
1/2 tsp cornstarch
pinch of salt

Dice sweet red peppers and garlic. Add to bowl with diced tomatoes and pineapples with juice. Add remaining ingredients into bowl and stir until incorporated. Put all ingredients in blender on chop setting, pulse only a few times until mixture is roughly blended. Cover and set in refrigerator for 1 hour. Stir before serving with Foster Farms Breast Chicken Nuggets.

While preparing to watch the basketball game my son and I tested our dunking skills with our dips and Foster Farm snacks. I included tomatoes and yellow sweet peppers to be dunked too. I made the snacks and veggies into kebobs served with a bit of each dip on a plate so we could sit down together and watch the game. We had fun enjoying our snacks and rooting for our favorite team in that round.

What are your favorite game watching snacks and dips?


I enjoy eating Foster Farms all natural chicken because it has no added hormones or steroids. Its also a convenient snack since it baked in about 20 minutes. It gives me time to prepare other items while they bake. I am hosting a giveaway for some Foster Farm free item coupons so that you can enjoy Foster Farms with your family and friends. I hope you have fun at your own home party like my family did.

Slam Dunk Dinner With DIGIORNO Stuffed Crust Pizza




Watching sports on TV has always been an activity that our whole family enjoys. With two sons, and two son-in-laws, you can bet there is some serious basketball games watching around here.

That calls for some serious eating too, and that's where DiGiorno Stuffed Crust Pizzas come in. We all love the great taste of DiGiorno, and the fact that we can pop as many as we need in the oven, and in 20 minutes or so, we have hot, delicious pizza without any fuss.

Since we lost our beloved basketball team here in Washington State, my family and I have been watching a lot more college games. And I have to say, I'm having a lot of fun following and cheering on our local Washington college team. Basketball is so fast paced, and exciting, that I don't want to miss a minute of it by being stuck in the kitchen.


I went to Walmart to pick up a couple of DiGiorno Stuffed Crust Pizzas because some of us were getting together to watch a game. The selection of different kinds of DiGiorno was amazing, and I always seem to pick the stuffed crust, because really, why wouldn't you??

All that super yummy cheese in the crust is irresistible to me. So I picked out a DiGiorno Stuffed Crust Buffalo-Style, and a Stuffed Crust Sausage, Peppers, and Onions pizza.

Everyone in my family is a true pizza lover, and we love a good hearty pizza with several toppings, especially sausage.

The Stuffed Crust Sausage, Peppers and Onions was a big hit, and we sadly ran out pretty quickly. I didn't know how great this tasted, and you can bet we'll be stocking up on this.

So good!!


The Buffalo-Style Chicken pizza was fabulous tasting, too. Pizza with chicken is one of my personal favorites, and the sauce on this was tangy and flavorful.

Why spend time in the kitchen cooking, or spend all that money for delivery, when DiGiorno gives you delicious pizza so quickly, and at such a great price?

And it's so much easier to invite friends and family over to watch a game when you don't have to worry about what to serve to eat. We love being spontaneous, and it's so much fun to celebrate the season by having people over to watch the games with us.


My grandson Jayden is seven now, and he's become a big basketball fan. He loves watching it, and playing it with his friends at school.

While we were watching the game, he was showing me how good he is getting at dribbling the ball. All this while eating a piece of pizza, too!!


I like letting everyone choose the kind of pizza they want to put on their plate, so really all there is to do is just slice them. So easy, and good. My favorite way to entertain!!


Our team got beat, but we all still had a great time. Basketball season is a lot of fun, but really, for me, it's a chance to spend time with my family and good friends.

You can bet I'll be buying more of the DiGiorno Stuffed Crust Buffalo-Style Chicken, and Stuffed Crust Sausage, Peppers, and Onions pizzas on my next trip to Walmart.

These two kinds of pizzas are definitely my #NewFavorites, and I bet they'll be yours, too.
