ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL FOOD?
Are you ready for some football food?
I love football and on game day I like making stuff to snack on. This is the one day of the week that I don’t concern myself with things like fat and calories, and I always keep it fun!
A favorite of ours is Loaded Baked Potato Skins. These are always a hit on game day, but also for taking to potlucks and parties.
I have never had leftovers when I make these!
Here are some more fun ideas for you to try on game day:
***Pepperoni Roll-Ups
***Mini Garlic Cheeseburgers
***Hissy Fit Dip
***Sweet and Salty Snack Mix
***Pizza Dip
***Salted Caramel Pecan Cheesecake Dip
***Skinny Taco Dip
I hope that your next game day is a good one filled with lots of yummy things to eat!

Instructions
- Bake potatoes (scrub them first and prick them with a fork) in 425 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until tender. I like to wrap mine in aluminum foil during baking, but that is optional. After you take the potatoes out of the oven, let them cool for about 1/2 hour. Cut them in 4 pieces lengthwise and scoop out the inside of each potato wedge, leaving approximately 1/3 inch of potato on the skin. (NOTE: You can use the scooped out potato for fried potatoes in the morning.)
- In a small bowl combine the oil, chili powder and hot pepper sauce. Using a pastry brush, brush the oil on the inside of each potato wedge. Place the wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle wedges with bacon, tomato, green and cheese.
- Bake for about 10 minutes in a 425 degree oven, or until cheese melts. Serve potato skins with sour cream or ranch dressing on the side.
