football bites

Ok, I confess — I really like to play with my food. So when surveying the ingredients I had out to make some apps for a Texans game this month, suddenly the thought of just slicing the cheddar and sausage seemed a little too boring. So with the help of a can of chopped green chiles (somehow lost my small round cookie cutter!) and an extra Ziploc to pipe on some ranch dressing, suddenly my plain little apps were “kicked” (ha!) up a notch. And the best part is that it really only took about 10 minutes. So if you’re looking for a fun and easy appetizer for your next game day, this is it!
