THE
THE BIG
THE BIG GAME IS JUST A FEW DAYS AWAY. SO IF YOU'RE FIGURING OUT YOUR
GAME PLAN FOR KICKOFF AND NEED
SNACK IDEAS FOR ALL THE PLAYERS
IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD, YOU'RE IN
THE RIGHT PLACE.
PANTRY OVERFLOWS DIANA DAVIS IS
WITH US THIS MORNING AND
SHARING HER SNACK HACKS THAT
HAVE THE ENTIRE FAMILY CHEERING
FOR MORE.
GOOD MORNING , DIANA.
>> GOOD MORNING .
GOOD TO BE HERE.
YEAH, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU
BACK ON BERDIS OFF WITH A FEW
EASY.
I'M EASY.
BIG GAME SNACKS THAT ANYONE CAN
MAKE.
>> OK, SO SOME REALLY EASY
THINGS IS I WENT WITH THE WHOLE
RED THING BECAUSE RED IS A
COLOR FOR BOTH TEAMS.
SO IN THAT WAY THAT MAKES IT
VERY SIMPLE TO DECORATE AND YOU
CAN ALSO SAVE IT FOR
VALENTINE'S DAY.
SO I JUST DID LIKE SOME
LEMONADE AND THEN I JUST PUT A
LITTLE RED FOOD COLORING WITH
SOME STRAWBERRIES AND LEMON IN
IT.
BUT THEN IT'S THE TEAMS COLORS
AND SOME RED STRAWS AND THIS
WAS A REALLY INEXPENSIVE DRINK
.
AND THEN I DID A LOT
OF INDIVIDUAL SIZE ITEMS.
SO THEN THAT WAY NOBODY'S
PUTTING THEIR HANDS IN IT AND
EVERYBODY CAN HAVE THEIR OWN
SNACKS.
I JUST DID LIKE A A LAYER DIP
SO JUST THE SOUR CREAM, SALSA,
GUACAMOLE, BEANS, WHATEVER YOU
LIKE.
YOU CAN MAKE INDIVIDUAL CUPS.
I DID INDIVIDUAL VEGGIE CUPS SO
YOU COULD PUT THE VEGETABLES AT
YOUR FAMILY LIKES AND JUST PUT
IT IN A CUP AND THEN THAT WAY
THE KIDS CAN MAYBE TAKE THIS
CUP UNTIL ACTUALLY EAT THEIR
OWN VEGETABLES.
>> RIGHT.
AND ANOTHER ONE THAT I DID IS
LIKE FRUIT.
SO LIKE THE STRAWBERRIES AND
THE PINEAPPLE ARE TEAM COLORS
WITH A LITTLE WHIPPED CREAM ON
TOP.
SO IT'S FRUIT AND IT'S A
DESSERT AT THE SAME TIME.
>> OH, I LIKE THAT WE'RE
STAYING.
AND A BIG WAY.
SO THEY ALL KIND OF HAVE A.
>> YEAH.
>> AND THE WAY TO WIN WITH ME
IS THE BARGAIN'S BECAUSE I LIKE
TO SAVE MONEY.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SNACKS THAT YOU
GET THE MOST BANG FOR OUR BUCK
SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO OVERSPEND
ON THE SNACKS THIS WEEKEND?
>> NO, NONE OF IT YOU'RE GOING
TO OVERSPEND ON BECAUSE YOU
COULD EITHER, YOU KNOW, BUY A
PREMADE BROWNIES AND DO YOUR
DIFFERENT COLOR FROSTING THAT
MATCH THE TEAM THAT YOU'RE
CHEERING FOR.
OR YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN AND
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S JUST
GOING TO COST A COUPLE
OF DOLLARS THE SAME WITH
VEGETABLES WHEN YOU BUY A
VEGETABLE TRAY.
YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND A LARGE
AMOUNT MONEY.
BUT WHEN YOU CUT UP YOUR OWN
VEGETABLES INVITING YOU TO
SPENDING A FEW DOLLARS SPREADS
A LONG WAY.
AND ANYTHING THAT'S BITE SIZED
LIKE THESE LITTLE SANDWICHES
THAT ARE SHAPED LIKE FOOTBALLS
YOU'RE TAKING ONE THING A BREAD
AND YOU'RE SLICING IT UP AND
MAKING INDIVIDUAL BITE SIZE SO
YOU'RE NOT YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT
HAVING TO BUY A LARGE AMOUNT
OF SOMETHING THAT MIGHT GET
WASTED.
NOW YOU MENTIONED THE VEGETABLE
CUP FOR THE KIDS OR ANY OF THE
CUPS FOR THE KIDS REALLY.
>> BUT YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT
TO FORGET ABOUT THE KIDS
BECAUSE WE NEED TO KEEP THEM
HAPPY SO WE CAN STAY FOCUSED ON
THE GAME OR WHATEVER IT IS WE
WANT TO DO.
ANY OTHER SNACK IDEAS THAT WE
CAN WHIP UP JUST FOR THEM?
>> YEAH.
>> YOU KNOW, LIKE THE LITTLE
HOTDOGS WITH THE CRESCENT ROLLS
YOU CAN WRAP THEM UP.
HOTDOGS ARE REALLY SIMPLE BUT
ANYTHING THAT'S BITE SIZE THAT
THEY CAN JUST GRAB AND EAT SO
YOU DON'T HAVE PLATES OF FOOD
LAYING ALL OVER.
I LIKE GETTING THOSE LITTLE
MINI SAUSAGES YOU WRAP THEM IN
CRESCENT ROLL WITH MAYBE SOME
MUSTARD TO DIP IT IN INDIVIDUAL
SANDWICHES AND IF YOU SHAPE IT
LIKE FOOTBALL YOU SHAPE YOUR
BROWNIES LIKE FOOTBALL SHAPE
YOU KNOW YOUR CHEESE AND
CRACKERS LIKE FOOTBALL OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHERE THEY
CAN JUST GRAB IT.
YOU ELIMINATE ALL THAT WASTE
AND THEN IT'S TO EAT TOO.
>> AND YOU ALSO MENTION MAKING
A TAPE HERE SO THAT EVERYONE'S
NOT TOUCHING THE SAME STUFF.
>> YEAH.
BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU'RE IN THE
SAME FAMILY YOU KIND OF HAVE
THAT MENTALITY LIKE YOU KIND
OF DON'T WANT PEOPLE TOUCHING
YOUR STUFF.
NOW I THINK ABOUT THAT WHENEVER
I GO TO GRAB SOMETHING SO BY A
SIZE IS ALWAYS EASY.
YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SNACKS, YOUR
OWN CUP, YOUR OWN LITTLE PLATE,
JUST YOUR OWN LITTLE BITE SIZE
THING AND THEN YOU'RE THE ONLY
ONE THAT'S TOUCHING YOUR FOOD.
>> AND DIANA, YOU KNOW YOU'RE
SO GOOD AT FINDING BARGAINS,
CLIPPING COUPONS AND ALL THAT
STUFF, YOU KNOW?
DO WE WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE
TO GET THE ITEMS OR SHOULD WE
HEAD TO THE STORE TODAY?
>> YOU CAN HEAD TO THE STORE
TODAY BECAUSE EVERY STORE
STARTED THEIR SALES YESTERDAY.
SO EVERYTHING THAT'S ON SALE
NOW IS GOING TO BE WHAT'S ON
SALE FOR THE SUPER BOWL SO YOU
CAN START SHOPPING NOW.
JUST MAKE IT PLAN YOUR MENU AND
THEN YOU MAKE YOUR LIST BEFORE
YOU GO BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT
OF DEALS AND THEN IF THERE'S
SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
EAT FOR YOUR HOUSEHOLD AFTER
THE SUPER BOWL AND AFTER YOUR
BIG PARTY BUY NOW WHILE IT'S ON
SALE BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL GOING
TO BE EATING AFTER THE EVENTS.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ARE THE
TYPICAL ITEMS WE'RE GOING TO
FEEL RIGHT NOW IF WE HEAD OUT
FOR
BIG
BIG DAY
BIG DAY BIG GAME DAY ITEMS? >> YES, SO YOUR SODAS, YOUR
BOTTLED WATER, ANY OF YOUR
FROZEN SNACKS ESPECIALLY LIKE
THIS SNACK, THINGS LIKE CHIP'S
VEGETABLES LIKE I'VE SEEN
CHEESES ON SALE OR ANYTHING
LIKE THE PACKAGE CHIPS, THE
BIG BAGS OF CHIPS YOU CAN FIND
LIKE YOUR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
THEY'RE ALL ON SALE TOO AS WELL
AS YOUR CONDIMENTS LIKE YOUR
KETCHUP MUSTARD, HOTDOGS,
THINGS LIKE THAT IF YOU'RE
GOING TO BARBECUE.
ALSO THEY'RE ALL ON SALE.
YOU'RE ALWAYS SO GOOD TO YOU
KNOW, YOU HAD THE LITTLE RED
THING GOING THERE.
>> ANY OTHER TIPS FOR KIND
OF JUST MAKING A NICE
PRESENTATION EVEN IF IT'S JUST
FOR YOUR FAMILY AT HOME?
>> YEAH, I LIKE I WENT TO LIKE
A DOLLAR STORE AND I GOT LIKE
YOU KNOW, THE RED CUBS, THE RED
AND WHITE STRAWS, THE YOU KNOW,
THESE CLEAR PLASTIC THINGS
BECAUSE YOU CAN THROW THESE
AWAY.
SO IT'S EASY CLEANUP IF YOU
JUST PICK WHATEVER COLOR FOR
WHATEVER TEAM MAYBE YOU DON'T
WANT THE YELLOW BECAUSE THAT'S
NOT YOUR TEAM BUT THE RED AND
WHITE THEME.
DO A VERY INEXPENSIVE THING
LIKE YOU CAN GET BALLOONS RED
AND WHITE BALLOONS.
THEY HAVE THOSE FOR A DOLLAR
AND YOU CAN REALLY JUST KIND
OF MAKE IT LOOK FUN BUT MAYBE
JUST SPEND 10 BUCKS ON
DECORATIONS AND IT'LL LOOK LIKE
A LITTLE PARTY EVEN IF IT'S
JUST IN YOUR LIVING FAMILY.
>> VERY NICE.
I LOVE THAT LITTLE PARTY
CONCEPT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, DIANA.
