Bits & Bites for the Big Game #BigGameBabbleboxx

Our family is sad that the football season is near it’s end, especially since our beloved Seahawks are out.  That doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun for the big game though!  The past several years we’ve gotten some friends together on game day to finish off the season right — with friendship and food!  Entertaining can sometimes be stressful but it doesn’t have to be!  With a few great products you can pull off the perfect (and easy!) spread to keep all of your guests happy.  With these time savers, you’ll also be able to enjoy the big game!

When it comes to convenience, AdvancePierre Foods BIG AZ products win hands down.  There’s a reason that BIG AZ sandwiches have been awarded the convenience store consumer’s choice award year after year.  With over a half a pound of hot food loaded with flavor in each lunch sandwich and guaranteed quality and freshness in every bite, BIG AZ are a great choice for entertaining!  Choose from 9 lunch sandwiches and 4 breakfast sandwiches including:

• BIG AZ Cheeseburger — One massive, protein packed beef patty topped with a slice of American cheese on a sesame bun
• AZ Kickin’ Jalapeno Cheeseburger — A giant beef patty, tasty pepper-jack cheese, and zesty jalapenos between a delicious bun
• BIG AZ Country Fried Chicken Sandwich — Huge crispy breaded chicken made with breast meat and topped with creamy white cheese and served on the world’s best sesame seed bun
• BIG AZ Biscuit Stacker  — This delicious sandwich starts with a fluffy protein packed egg and is topped with melted American cheese.  For added protein  savory signature sausage and mouth-watering bacon is piled on. The best part of the BIG AZ Biscuit Stacker is the tender, home-style buttermilk biscuit.

Find BIG AZ products in convenience stores throughout the US.  Look for them hot in the sandwich warmer or grab one from the cooler case and heat it up fresh in the microwave. A plate of these is a definite crowd pleaser on game day!  The chicken sandwich is my favorite but my kids love the cheeseburger and Biscuit Stacker.

What’s game day without chips?  Step up your game with Garden of Eatin’ Tortilla Chips.  For over 40 years Garden of Eatin’ has handcrafted their snacks with non-GMO USDA organic, garden-inspired ingredients.  Check out their new, delicious flavors:

• Ranch — made with buttermilk, garlic and onion
• Nacho — made of farmhouse cheddar and paprika

These mouthwatering seasonings and detectible crunch combine for the perfect snack.  The flavors and texture of these chips are fresh and delicious — we just wish the bags were bigger!  I love knowing that we are going a healthier route with better-for-you, simple ingredients and no artificial flavors or preservatives.  With only 6 grams of fat per serving, that’s 25% less than the leading conventional competitor.  These nacho chips are also a gluten-free options for those with sensitivities or allergies! Always good to have on hand when entertaining a crowd.  Find out where to purchase at www.facebook.com/gardenofeatin.

Another game day must-have is beer!  Why not offer an award winning beer like Full Sail Brewery Session Premium Lager?  This classic, all-malt lager is crisp, smooth and refreshing.  It has won multiple gold medals at the top national and international competitions and was named #1 American Pilsner on the “Top Ten List of lagers Brewed in the United States”.  It’s a great choice because nearly everyone that likes beer, likes Session. American and European hops offer a wonderful noble hop aroma, and the two-row barley malt and a touch of wheat malt give a pleasant, refreshing finish. Personally, I like the retro style glass bottles that give it a really cool, hip vibe.

I think I could do a party with just chips and a variety of dips.  I love dip!  Better Bean Co. dips are vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, Non-GMO project verified, and BPA free.  They are made in small batches with regional ingredients in kitchens free of top allergens.  Better Beans are a versatile option for game day.  Serve them as dip right out of the carton or use them in quesadillas or burritos.  Mix or layer these fresh beans with sour cream, guacamole or other ingredients — get creative.  Or not.  Either way you and your guests will enjoy these delicious beans which are soaked and prepared for easy digestion.

The Roasted Chipotle Red Beans were our favorite.  With a touch of heat and some smoky chipotle flavor, this dip was delicious on tortilla chips straight from the container.  I can’t wait to try them other ways!
