Yay it's game day! If you're making a cheese boar Yay it's game day!

If you're making a cheese board or snack board for your football watching this afternoon (or maybe save this post as you plan for the Super Bowl in two weeks), build it in a 12+ well muffin tin and fill it with your favorite game day snacks, appetizers and cheese!

I love using a muffin tin as the surface for game day boards because it's easy to fill (and then refill) with our game day snacks, the wells are perfect for dips (no need for bowls) and it looks fun and festive. 

Deets:

(You can find most of the appetizers on this board on my blog, and a few more in my cookbook, but you can also use store bought snacks and replace these with your favorite recipes and ingredients to make it your own)

🏈 Roasted Jalapeno Poppers (we have been loving the pimento cheese jalapeno poppers also on the blog)
🏈 Pimento cheese (this is homemade but @qccheeseroyale is my fave store bought)
🏈 Buffalo Turkey Meatballs (on the blog and way less messy than wings)
🏈 Party Meatballs (because there's no such thing as too many meatballs)
🏈 Grilled Beer Brats (a @packers game day staple)
🏈 Pepperoni Bread (made into cute lil pizza rolls)
🏈 Chile con Queso
🏈 Sharp cheddar and pepper jack cheese
🏈 Carrots and celery
🏈 Tortilla Chips
🏈 Serve with ranch and blue cheese on the side

We’re sipping on some @heistbrewery IPAs today but a New Glarus Spotted Cow would also be *chef’s kiss*

Go Pack Go!

Hi to friends new and old! Whether you’ve been h Hi to friends new and old! Whether you’ve been here for six years or six hours I’m happy you’re here hanging out with me. I’m Chrissie, the gal behind the food pics and unsolicited opinions and this is my tinge of ginge husband, AJ.

I’m a blogger, badger, packer fan and public defender, cheese lover, red wine and local beer drinker, retired competitive swimmer turned cross fitter then peloton rider. 

I love pizza, sushi and Mexican food (but really am not picky, those are my faves), AJ and my family and friends. I’m an Aquarius, Enneagram 2 (I think) and can’t remember my Myers Briggs but know an E is involved. We have four cats, one dog, backyard bees (in hives with honey we got to extract last summer!) and backyard deer (that AJ has named). I have opinions and I like to share them and I also like reality tv. And last year I wrote a book!

Anything else you wanna know? 

I hope this selfie doesn’t curse the Packers this weekend. #gopackgo

@leah_and_louise is hosting such a creative and de @leah_and_louise is hosting such a creative and delicious event benefiting the Charlotte community today. their pay what you can soup kitchen (with a suggested donation of $20) brought together 16 local chefs to make really freaking good soup with all proceeds benefiting @myhealcharlotte an organization "created to support dialogue and relationship building between urban youth and families, the police, other divisions of government, and community partners." They "strive to engage a diverse group of youth to create stronger neighborhoods and a better city." In the wake of the pandemic, Heal Charlotte is on a mission to provide a safer and healthier living environment for the communities they serve.

We got two orders to go, so we got our choice of four pints plus rolls from @dukesbread to take home. It was SO HARD to pick just four from so many great chefs but we ended up with celery root soup from @chefwhitneythomas, brisket chili from @lewdon4, vegan curry sweet potato soup from @chefccoleman and Virginia peanut stew from @jbarnes757.

If you're jealous of our lunch and dinner today (yes we're eating soup all day) there are a few limited walk up tickets available, so swing by @campnorthend before the event ends at 3pm. I love the kindness and creativity of the Charlotte food community!
