Answers:
order some pizza make some popcorn
you can never go wrong with pizza
I make this snack and its awesome! get a bowl or dish and put either sour cream or cream cheese (i like creamcheese better) onthe bottom of the dish, then add salsa, you can add hot peppers if you want, then shred some chedder cheese on it, then cutt up some lettuce and put it onthe top!! It's a dip for tortia chips! its sooo good! :) hope u like
Why not put a delicious and adventurous twist on plain buttered popcorn? Try a recipe for Pizza Popcorn.
Another fun snack to entertain with is cheese or chocolate fondue- you dont have to have a fondue kit. All you need to do is place a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water and use long wooden skewers. Other ideas: spiced nuts or homemade trail mix. Buy some soda water, flavored syrups, and half-and-half and make Italian Cream Sodas! Yum
Fried Twinkies and Snickers Bars. It sounds weird but they taste great with spiced popcorn. If you have regular Popcorn and some old bay or your favorite spice for a nice twist.
Go to Wal-Mart & get a selection of their movie candies - they have Raisenettes, Goobers, Good & Plenty, M & M's, etc......Serve along with pizza rolls, egg rolls, mixed nuts & of course buttered popcorn!
NACHO POPCORN
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
10 cups popped popcorn
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Combine melted butter, paprika, crushed red pepper, and ground cumin; toss with popcorn, coating evenly. Sprinkle with cheese; toss.
EASY HOMEMADE PIZZA
Also try homemade pizza, get topping such as sliced ham, mushrooms, shredded cheese blends, your favorite sliced or diced veggies, and top on pitas or wholewheat pizza crusts from the bakery section of the grocer & bake in your oven.
We also love a good hot or honey garlic chicken wing feast from time to time, great with veggies & dips
EASY HOT WING RECIPE
5 lbs bag of frozen wings/wingettes into a big pan (like a roaster or lasagna pan), add 1/4 cup of butter and a generous amount of your favorite hot sauce or honey garlic (honey, soy sauce & fresh garlic works well) bake at 375°F for about 1 1/2 hours. It is simple and they are delicious, with just the right ZIPPINESS. And no messy, time-consuming frying.
DILL DIP FOR VEGGIES & WINGS
1 c. non-fat plain yogurt
1 c. low fat mayonnaise
1 tsp. dried minced onions
1 tbsp. dried dill weed
salt & pepper to taste
mix all ingredients allow to stand at least 1 hr before serving
And why not top off the junk food with a root beer or coke float with vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt!
There are so many things you can make! Take a block of velveeta cheese and put it in a crock pot with a can of chili and its so good.
Also take about 10 roma tomatoes, 1 medium white onion, a 1/2 cup cilantro, 1 jalapeno (seeded to relieve the hotness, lol) and some lime juice. Put into a food processor and then add salt to taste. You just made pico de gallo. Its own of our favorites. I like the Salsa Verde chips by the Dorito brand to have with the salsa!!
Get some chicken wings and put them in the oven on a cookie sheet at 425 degrees and cook for 45 minutes. Until juices run clear. Then drain off the grease and put the wings into a bowl and toss with Frank's buffalo wings sauce they are so good and easy. We love those too.
Take some cream cheese a lb of cooked shrimp and mix together. Then spread it on a cookie sheet and then pour cocktail sauce over it and eat with your favorite cracker we like Wheat Thins. They hold the dip best.
If you like spicy things, and/or buffalo wings, give this a try, Buffalo Wing Chip Dip:
Mix together in a casserole dish:
1 can Tyson chicken chunks (shred with your fingers as you put it in the dish)
1 cup buffalo wing sauce (Ott's is the best)
1 cup ranch dressing
2 cups shredded, sharp cheddar cheese
2 (8 oz.) packages of cream cheese
Mix all and bake at 350 degrees until bubbly. Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
If it's only going to be 2 or 3 people, you might cut it in half, as it makes a lot!
Have fun!
MAKE A GIANT FRUIT SALAD! :)
It's perfect, it refreshes you on these hot summer days and it's healthiest thing to "pig out" on, and the best thing is..they are delicious! You can munch on them or freeze some bananas, grapes, berries, and pineapple to suck on throughout the movie.
