Game Night with College Friends: Creative Ideas!

[ChefMary412]

Getting together with some college friends for a "game night"... want to bring something creative. Any ideas? They like almost anything.

I think the new sauces mixed with cream cheese would be a great easy snack to take.

Ditto! Or the oil dipping seasonings all mixed up and some bread cubes. Also, the mini cheeseburgers are yummy and game-day approved!

We are having "game night" tomorrow afternoon and I am taking the pineapple-rum sauce over cream cheese. I just have to decide what kind of crackers to get.

The pineapple salsa with lime chips is delicious!Touchdown Taco Dip or Pizza Dip as "oldies".

If you can find these crackers (I find them at the grocery store w/ the specialty type crackers) they are INCREDIBLE with the pineapple sauce and cream cheese. They are salty and slightly sweet, almost like a cookie - when I served this combo, people went wild over it!

If you can't find Becky's crackers, we really like using the Flips Crackers (they're half pretzle and half cracker)... we use them when we do the cream cheese with my jalapeno jelly and they really hold up well (as well as tasting good). I have found that other crackers break as you are trying to spread the cream cheese on it.
Becky, when you do the cream cheese with our sauces for a sample at the shows are you using the beaded spreader? I really like it but I know that a lot of people think that its only for Christmas.... what do you think? I guess I could use the bamboo spreader that comes with that set...

Funny you should ask! I use both! I stick the beaded spreader in one, and the bamboo spreader in the other half of the cream cheese. (One in each kind of sauce)

I do the pineapple sauce and cream cheese w/ the wheat biscuits, and the ginger sauce and cream cheese w/ water crackers.

These all sound good.. thanks. I was thinking about something with the new sauces. Good plan!

When I first made the Artichoke Breadbowl dip I didn't like it much. However, a host made it last month for her party and she added some thawed frozen spinach and it was FANTASTIC!! I couldn't get enough of the dip. That was the only change she made.

I tried the artichoke bread bowl last night, my upline couldn't find a round sourdough loaf, so she got the hawiaian bread... so yummy! I want to taste it with the sourdough though, sourdough is my favorite!

 

[Chef Kearns]

I've had it with the Hawaiin bread and the bread alone is delicious. It was really good with this dip.
