Game Day Weekend...Libations for Less than $10 and New Year's Resolution Worthy Snacks!

1/20/2012

 
As long as I can remember I have lived in a family of (mostly) Giants fans.  So when the Giants make it to the play-offs it is a big deal in my household!

Whether you are a fan of Big Blue, or any of the other teams playing this weekend, my guess is that many of you will still be cozying up to watch the NFL play-off games. 

And what's a football game without some good drinks and tasty snacks?

_I have written about my love of Prosecco in this blog before, and recently I tasted a new variety, Pasqua Prosecco, that is super affordable at $9.99, and also delicious.  So if you are tired of the more common Zardetto or Mionetto varieties that you may have tried before, this is definitely worth giving a try!  It is light and crispy, and slightly dry, but also has some fruity undertones.

_And for all you beer drinkers, which I will probably be this weekend, I recommend Dale's Pale Ale.  It's the most upscale beer in a can I have ever tasted (sorry PBR), and at $8.99 for a case, it is less expensive than many microbrew 6 packs.  But just as tasty in my opinion!

Now bring on the food!

I know many of you probably are still fresh from your New Year's Resolutions to eat healthy in 2012, but that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy a few lower calorie snacks while you veg out on the couch this weekend.  Here are some healthy snack ideas that will probably be on my coffee table this weekend!

Sabra Hummus with Pinenuts or Greek Spinach Dip (courtesy of Stacey's Snacks) and Stacy's Pita Chips (my favorite hummus and chip combo)

Salted and Roasted Almonds (super salty and crunchy, but such a healthy snack)

Guacamole and Tostitos Natural Blue Corn Chips (check out this recipe for guacamole from Dos Caminos!)

Will you be watching the games this weekend?  If so, what will you be eating and drinking???

Go G-Men!
