Pates Family Seasoning is now blogging!
And it happens to coincide with the Super Bowl. Now, there are many things that I (Jeff) like about the Super Bowl, but they have nothing to do with football (here, I surrender my man card) and everything to do with what surrounds the game. I love any reason to get together with friends, I always enjoy seeing the half time performance even if I don’t care for who the performer(s) are, and of course the commercials. And as you may have guessed where this was headed my absolute favorite thing about the Super Bowl is, as I call it, Super Bowl food. Wings, ribs, sausage and cheese plates, Lil’ Smokies, dips, Rotel… Yes, Rotel is its own category…
So, to kick off Pates Family Seasoning Blog here are some recipes that you can make food for the Super Bowl party using each of the Pates Family Seasonings. I will post one a day till the big game!!
The first has the classic party dip base, cream cheese, and for those of us who are trying to maintain a New Years Health Goal some of the others are on the healthy side.
WARNING: they all disappear quickly!
