GOTTA LOVE FALL! The pumpkin spice, the beautiful bright leaves, gorgeous sunsets, cooler days… and FOOTBALL! It’s snackin’ season besties! Grab the cleats, your fave jersey & get ready for some snackin' with a new twist - NACHO TOTCHOS!
I always remember when my husband & I first started dating (waaay back then.. lol) and he asked if I wanted to go to watch the Cincinnati Bengals game with some of the guys! Shocked that I was one of those girls, he realized very quickly (along with his buddies) that I loved Football (even though I really didn't quite understand the game!)
Maybe it was the cute jersey, fun ball cap, those guys in their uniforms (lol), the tailgating, the fun, the energy, the cheering…and the great food with friends and family! Well… all these years later, when you come to our house on a Sunday - it’s FOOTBALL SUNDAY!! Wear your jersey, bring your fun vibes & let the snackin' begin!
Nachos are always a hit for the big game - with that gooey cheese and layers of meats, veggies and more! But-what about tater tots instead of tortilla chips??
TA-DA!! Introducing NACHO TOTCHOS! Perfect for your SUNDAY FUNDAY for a crowd!
We start with everyone’s favorite! Tater Tots! (I prefer the crispy ones) YUM! And…we make them even tastier with a quick sprinkle of SUNSHINE DAZE - BEACH PARTY POTATO PALOOZA POTATO SEASONING!
