Tailgate Weekend!

November 7, 2009

If you see a lot of this going on in your house over the weekend:

I’m telling you, embrace it and enjoy the food.

I’d like to introduce you to my caterer:

(Hello my love.  I’m all tingly just thinking about you.)

In case you haven’t already figured this out, I’m all about easy.

So here are my staples served smorgasbord style:

1. Meatballs (I’m sorry Costco’s frozen ones are the best.  Pour in the Yoshida’s sauce (also Costco) while they cook and you have a winner on your hands).

2. Chips and one or more of the following: salsa, guac, layered dip.

3. Veggies and dip: I love the yellow Knorr’s packet that makes the Vegetable dip with water chestnuts.

Sorry the veggies are on another plate, but just imagine this on a big platter with all the usuals.  And just to clarify: veggie platters at Costco rock, but Knorr’s packet is at your local grocery store.  Just buy 5 of them next time you’re there.  They look like this:

Okay, here’s where we venture away from the Costco (and grocery store) essentials.  You can find these delightfuls at Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods:

4.  Fillo Factory’s Brie and Raspberry Fillo Rolls

They are beyond excellent.

5. Another Fillo Factory winner are their Assorted Mini Quiches.

I’m telling you, yum.

6. Then we make a huge vat of chili, but really we’re too full from all the other deliciousness to get to it.

And this is why I love fall football.

Seriously.

We can always use some new ideas at our house, so please share your fav’s!
