Greetings! 

 

I don't know about you, but I LOVE game day. My family and I gather around the television after everyone has made their favorite appetizer or snack. We spend quality time together while rooting for our favorite team.

This week, I have done tons of research and found some of my favorite recipes to bring you the best ideas for throwing your own tailgate party right in your living room. Later in the week, we're doing a Game Day Favorites Recipe Swap. Looking forward to reading everyone's Game Day Favorites.  Some of these dishes will include my favorite kitchen gadget. . .the slow cooker!

 
Whatever you decide to do this football season, I hope that you make plenty of memories with family. If you have dinner ideas you'd like to share, please e-mail your dinner ideas to noelskitchen@gmail.com. Let's share what works for us, and help each other out!
   

Don't forget to visit my website www.NoelsKitchenTips.com for more help with meal planning as well. I dish up all kinds of other tips too!

Here is a recap of what we shared on the blog last week, just in case you missed a post or two!

 

 

 


 

 

Here are some things I blogged about last week: 

  • Healthy Snack Ideas:Baked Tortilla Chips: Getting ready to watch the playoffs? When you're craving a snack, these chips are simple, delicious and healthy!
  • Cakes On A Stick:How To Make Cake Pops: I was thrilled to find this fun kitchen item at our thrift store and couldn't wait to make something fun. These are cute and fun treats your kids can help make and they'll just love eating them off the stick. Here's an easy and basic recipe for these fun treats!
  • Saturday Chat With Mom:Moms Connect On Facebook: Sharing your experience of motherhood and family life with others on Facebook seems to be the "in" thing to do these days. Some people use it to connect with friends, new and old, or family members, while others use it primarily for social networking to build their business. 
  • Our Family Movie Night!: One of the things that we love to do as a family is to watch movies.  Make Pizza, Chili or a something that's really simple and quick. It's usually a weekly event. It's very rare that we go to the movie theatre. Regularly, we watch movies at home and we have a little ritual that goes on.
