Football and food are forever linked through the parties families host to celebrate their favorite teams. In my home we love to support what we consider our local team, The San Francisco 49ers. I think our whole family would agree we are Red & Gold! My brother in law has moved a few times over the years to different states but he still is a 49er fan! I want my son to grow up to be a 49ers fan as well. I have been watching football games with my son since he was a baby and throwing a football around with him since he could walk. Football is also a part of our family Thanksgiving tradition starting back to when I was a kid.

Football games are always a good reason to make recipes your family enjoys on special occasions. For the San Francisco 49ers game I had planned on making a drumstick recipe that I love but my son convinced me that we really, really needed to make wings. I was so glad we made wings, the recipe was spicy and delicious!

Recipe for Spicy Parmesan Wings
2 lbs. of fresh Foster Farms Simply Raised Party Wings
1 cup of flour
3 tbsp. your favorite taco seasoning
1 egg white
1/4 cup your favorite hot sauce
1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese

Mix in a bowl the flour and the spices. In a separate bowl whisk egg white. Dip chicken into the egg white bowl, then into the flour bowl lightly coating the chicken in the flour and spice mixture. Place chicken on a large baking sheet or stainless steel pan. Cook chicken at 400 for 45 minutes, adjust your cooking time for your oven as need be. When chicken is done, take it out of the oven and drizzle the top of the chicken with your favorite hot sauce. Wait 5 minutes then toss the chicken wings in a bowl with chopped fresh parsley and grated parmesan cheese. Serve with cold pasta salad to balance the spiciness of the chicken wings.

Foster Farms has a great line of products to create fantastic tailgates and game day spreads. Ground turkey for tacos, chili or burgers, chicken breast and legs marinated in a favorite sauce and grilled to perfection. Sliced turkey for game time hoagies and sandwiches. Plus wings, nuggets, strips, buffalo wings, corn dogs and much more! In my house we eat Foster Farms chicken simply because it is a California company. We want to support California the state we live in and love, just like our love for the 49ers.

Big Game Day Fun and A Recipe For Spicy Beef Nachos

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #GameDayGlory #CollectiveBias

Football season is a big deal in my family. We all love cheering for our favorite teams, some good natured team rivalry, and the chance to spend a Sunday together before getting back to our busy workweeks.

Nothing makes me happier that to see my grownup kids and their families having a good time with each other. Football might be all about the game for some, but for me, it's a great way to spend time with those I love.

My family loves to eat of course, and my recipe for Spicy Beef Nachos is one that I make all the time. Made with ground beef, TOSTITOS® Medium Chunky Salsa, and TOSTITOS® chips, it packs a spicy punch that is just so good.

Food and football just go so naturally together, and makes for a great day of delicious fun.

I've found that the easiest way to entertain on football Sundays is to put everything out on the table and let everyone eat and drink what they want when they want it. We make big platters of the nachos so everyone can help themselves, and they go quick!!

Along with the nachos, I like to include some of our favorite snacks like SNICKERS® Minis and Skittles®. These candies are long time family favorites, and I know by now to buy the big bags of them so there's plenty to go around. My kids might be adults but they still love their candy.

Since I love Pepsi™, it's always in the pantry and makes a great choice to go along with our nachos. When I'm doing my shopping at Walmart, it's super easy to pick up anything I might need for our family game watching.

For my recipe for Spicy Beef Nachos, I always get the TOSTITOS® Scoops Party Size. They are just like a tiny cup that you fill with the ground beef, and are the perfect size. Look for them and the regular TOSTITOS® in the chip aisle.

If you're a football and snack lover, have you ever thought about building your own snack stadium? It's a great way to have some fun, and you can share a photo of your own snack stadium on Instagram using #gamedayglorysweepstakes. Go here for recipes and snack stadium ideas.

My nachos are all about the spicy! I love spicy foods, and I season the meat with taco seasoning, hot sauce, and TOSTITOS® Medium Chunky Salsa. If you don't like your meat super spicy, don't add the hot sauce.

Start out by browning one pound of ground beef and half a chopped onion. Pour off the grease and add taco seasoning, hot sauce, and chunky salsa, and simmer for 10 minutes. Sometimes I'll make a double batch of the meat and put half of it in the freezer. This is a great way to be party ready, or just have the cooked meat on hand for tacos, burritos, or other meals.

When the meat is done, arrange the scoops on a platter, and spoon the meat into the scoops. You can top it with different ingredients of your choice. I love the classic lettuce, tomatoes, a three cheese shredded mix, and with a big helping of sour cream, which tones down the spicy beef a little.

Nachos are such an easy meal to put together, and a real favorite for me and my family while watching the game. It's all about making it simple in the kitchen so that you can enjoy sharing the time with family and friends.

Recipe for Spicy Beef Nachos

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped
1 package taco seasoning
1/2 cup TOSTITOS® Medium Chunky Salsa
4 tablespoons hot sauce
1 bag finely shredded lettuce
2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped small
1 bag Mexican 3-cheese blend
1 container sour cream
1 bag TOSTITOS® Scoops Party Size

Directions:

Place ground beef in a large frying pan and break up with a spoon. Add onion, and cook on medium heat until meat and onion are well browned.
Turn heat to low, stir in taco seasoning, salsa, and hot sauce. Let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Place scoops on a platter and fill with meat. Add lettuce, tomato, and sprinkle on blended cheese. Add sour cream on top of each nacho and serve.

Serves 6-8.

I found these cute little football shaped bowls for less than a dollar each, and they help make the table look more festive. Perfect for holding those SNICKERS® Minis and Skittles® that we all enjoy during the game.

You can find all of these products in the aisles at your local Walmart. I enjoy shopping for family favorite products that lets me make entertaining everyone simple and delicious.

I'm always a little bit sad to see football season end. I love my team, and it's so surprising to me how much I have learned to enjoy the game. I never really cared about football until my kids started wanting to get together to watch it.

But now the fun, the food, and my family make game watching season one of my favorite times of the year.

How about you, do you enjoy watching the game with family or friends? And if you do, do you have a favorite game day meal or snack that you'd like to share with me?

Leave me a comment, I'd love to hear about your recipe. And go here for more recipes and great game day ideas.

Make Your Big Game Day Delicious With SNICKERS® Cookie Pots

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and it's advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #BigGameTreats #CollectiveBias

I can honestly say that I love football. But not for all the usual reasons. Yes, the games are exciting to watch, I love rooting for my team, and I do love it when we win. But the real reason is because my grown-up kids all love it, and it gives us a chance to spend a few hours together on an occasional Sunday. We are all so terribly busy, and any chance I get to see my kids having fun together is a great day for me.

This year when it's time for the Big Game, I want to make something really tasty to have on hand for dessert. Since my family adores SNICKERS® bars, I decided to make SNICKERS Cookie Pots. These are basically a big warm cookie filled with deliciously melted SNICKERS candy, and topped with some vanilla ice cream.

I'm happy when I have a recipe that's easy to make, and turns out even better than I thought it would. These SNICKERS Cookie Pots are melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and perfect for friends and family to eat on the day of the Big Game. Score!!

Not only are we SNICKERS fans, but everyone loves Skittles® too. I like having bowls of candy out for everyone to help themselves. My grandchildren enjoy sorting the Skittles by color, and doing counting games with them, and of course they have to all have exactly the same amount so there's no fighting.

Our family has a friendly team rivalry going on because my two sons have a favorite team, and my son-in-law's favorite team is a different one. This has been going on for years, and it's funny and we have all had some good laughs, and a few lost bets, too.

One thing we do all agree upon is good tasting food. Food really is a big part of our game days, and I'd like to share my recipe for SNICKERS Cookie Pots with you.

This recipe is easy to make, and you start out by slicing up the SNICKERS bars. I used fun size, but you can use the larger full-size bars if you want. Of course it's hard not to eat as you cut them, at least for me. You will need one cup of them.

After you have combined the batter ingredients, stir in the sliced SNICKERS pieces. This recipe makes six servings, and can easily be doubled.

Spoon the batter into 3-inch ramekins, and top with a few extra SNICKERS pieces. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 14-16 minutes. When they are done, they will still be gooey in the center, so be careful not to over bake them. That's what makes them taste so delicious!

Recipe for SNICKERS Cookie Pots

Ingredients:

baking spray
1-1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup sliced SNICKERS bars, divided

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly grease 6 3-inch ramekins with baking spray, set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In a large bowl, using a hand-held mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until well blended and creamy. Add egg and vanilla extract, and beat until well mixed. Add dry ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and 3/4 cup of SNICKERS.
Fill the ramekins 2/3 full with the dough. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup SNICKERS pieces evenly on tops.
Place ramekins on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 14-16 minutes. The centers will still be slightly undercooked  when removed from the oven. Let them sit until they are no longer hot, but warm, and top with vanilla ice cream.

 

I found SNICKERS and Skittles in the candy aisle at Walmart. I always like that Walmart offers such a big selection of candy, and in different sizes, too.

Ready To Win GO SEAHAWKS!!!

I am not a huge football fan, it's really more about the family getting together and eating some really delicious food and acting silly.

But I couldn't let today go by without saying how proud I am of my Seattle Seahawks and wishing them good luck today in the game. The fans here are incredible, and the support for our team is so awesome.

Have fun today everybody, and GO HAWKS!!!!
