Have you been enjoying all that Sunday football? I sure have. This weekend I was with 25 of my besties in Vail, CO watching all the action. It was a blast. What would have made it even better? These recipes I created for the RITZ / Coca-Cola Home Bowl campaign!
I had so much fun coming up with these two game day recipes. My RITZ Nachos are a creative riff on traditional nachos & Coca-Cola Ice Cream Floats are a classic celebration drink.
For any entertaining, it’s best to have simple & easy recipes that you can whip up in a jiffy. Both of these offer up just that! This Coca-Cola Float is fabulous & kid friendly.
You can purchase all of these ingredients ahead of time & assemble in a snap. My goal is to help moms and dads across the country host the perfect game day party!
Aren’t those RITZ nachos so fun? Load them up with ground beef, guacamole, cheese & sour cream.
Your party guests will LOVE these sips & eats…
Enjoy the games & all the fun! xo

- In a serving dish, layout RITZ crackers so they cover the bottom of the dish (2 layers is good) Layer on the beef mixture, then cheese. Microwave a few minutes on high until cheese is melted.
