Game Day Snacks

We just prepped for the big game tomorrow. Feel free to stop in if you're nearby. As of right now the gathering will be small, but loud!

Here's the menu. Hearty enough for those who don't have to worry and well-behaved enough for the rest of us.

1. Make your own subs: ham, turkey, roast beef, smoked Gouda, Diamond marble, queso fresco, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, light mayo, sweet pepper rings, stone ground mustard, honey mustard, pesto, normal sub rolls, whole wheat flat bread and a French baguette.
2. Veggie tray: Duh. Dip made from half light sour cream, half non-fat plain yogurt.
3. Crackers and dip: Water crackers and dip made from light cream cheese and sweet red pepper relish.
4. Soup: Soften up some onions, carrots and garlic in a soup pot with olive oil, salt and pepper. Cut up a smoked turkey sausage (sold by ring bologna) and throw it in. Cube a big sweet potato and a regular potato. Dump it in the pot with a big box of stock. Add water to cover the potatoes in needed. Bring to boil, season with whatever you like. I used paprika and cumin. When the potatoes are fork tender, add a few handfuls of kale. Let it wilt. Add a little bit of nutmeg and adjust salt/pepper.
5. Fruit salad: pineapple, cantaloupe, blueberries and blackberries. Debating on making a lemon quick bread to serve with it.

Now, if Green Bay can just get it done!!!!! Fingers crossed.
