Social Media Roundup FOOTBALL FOOD 3 - What You Missed!

I've been sharing a few "cooler weather" foods on social media here lately, but considering it's still pretty warm here in the Deep South, those are mostly for those of you who live in areas of the country where it might actually feel like Fall. I was watching QVC the other day and they were talking about temps in the 50s and 60s. I wish!

Of course, you might just want to save them for later too.

Those cooler temperatures haven't quite made it here yet, but, we are into our football here in the Deep South and it's non-stop around this house with my husband, so I'm continuing to share some of the football fare favorites on social media too - wings, dips, sandwiches, beans, soups, stews and such!

Here's the next round of what you may have missed on my social media shares recently - FOOTBALL FOOD 3!

Wild American shrimp, dredged in a blend of flour and cornstarch, then deep fried and finished in an enhanced spicy sweet chili sauce, makes for a great snack, appetizer or main dish meal with a nice kick.

Firecracker Shrimp Appetizer

Because I'm constantly writing new recipes for this website and I cook so often, my husband aka to y'all as "The Cajun" and I don't really eat out much. On those occasions where we do, I'm often inspired to try to recreate something on the menu that we tried.

That is the case here.

Almost every local restaurant here along the Mississippi Gulf Coast has some kind of shrimp appetizer that consists of crunchy fried shrimp tossed in a slightly spicy and sweet sauce. They are known by a variety of names - like Firecracker Shrimp, Voodoo Shrimp, Bang Bang Shrimp and Boom Boom Shrimp, to name a few. 

With green beans available year round, this green bean vegetable salad with potatoes makes for a great side dish any time of the year.

Green Bean and Potato Salad

Green beans and potatoes go together like hand and glove, and we sure do love that hot dish served in the south.

But... have you ever considered combining this classic southern mix up with a vinaigrette and serving it cold? It's actually a great combination as a cold vegetable salad, though it's also good slightly warm or at room temperature too!

Social Media Roundup FOOTBALL FOOD 2 - What You Missed!

Well y'all, summer is about to roll on out of here!

I know that some of you aren't that happy about that because you actually have a winter that you're not looking forward to, but personally I'm ready to move on to some cooler temperatures. It's actually been a tiny bit less oppressive down here along the Gulf Coast for the past week, but it'll still be a ways to go before sweater weather shows up.

I'm looking forward to wearing my fleece Cuddl Duds y'all!

In that spirit, I'm not quite moving into the recipes of fall on my social media shares yet, so we're focused on mostly quick weeknight meals and football food because my husband, also known to y'all as "The Cajun," loves his football!

'Deviled Chicken Wings'

Meaty chicken wings, coated with a lightly spicy rub and marinated in the fridge for an hour or up to overnight, baked and tossed with a simple, classic buttery hot sauce or tossed in a wing glaze. Try them in your air fryer!

'Party Shrimp'

Large shrimp, baked in a buttery seasoned beer, oil and vinegar sauce, great for a party, for football food, or the beach!

'Buffalo Chicken Dip with Bacon'

My version uses fresh cooked chicken, Louisiana hot sauce, ranch instead of bleu cheese dressing, bacon, and a mixture of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. So good y'all!

Fiesta Taco "Boat Dip"

My own take of the TikTok viral "boat dip," made with a blend of sour cream, mayo, taco seasoning, salsa, Mexicorn and Mexican-style blended cheese. It's a perfect addition for your collection of dip recipes!

Fiesta Taco Dip

If you spend any time on social media you may have seen a dip going around recently called "boat dip." There are now such a wide range of variations of that dip out there that it's hard to say what the original recipe ingredients and ratios were, or even who the originator was.

The only thing that seems in agreement is that it was called boat dip because it was a dip that was routinely made to carry on boat trips for that family.

I actually tried quite a few of those variations myself and this one is the one that I settled on.

Boneless chicken thighs or mixed pieces cooked with simple seasonings, a mixed peppers blend and rice in the Instant Pot, makes for an easy meal. Just add a green vegetable or side salad!

Instant Pot Chicken and Rice

This is one of those quick, easy, tasty meals that you can make when you aren't highly motivated to cook.

Yes! Believe it or not, that happens to me too sometimes.

That's one thing that I love about the Instant Pot - or any other branded electronic pressure cooker for that matter. That one appliance can make a quick and easy job of making a meal, unlike its cousin the slow cooker, which I rarely use because of the advance planning, early start and length of time required.

Yep, y'all... it's STILL Summer! I know, I know...

Labor Day has passed.

Kids are back to school.

And football is back!

While some of my recent social media shares have been a slight nod to the coming Fall weather and particularly appetizers and snacks for football season, we're also still hanging with some of the summer favorites too, at least for the next couple of weeks anyway.

'Mary’s Mint Infused Southern Sweet Iced Tea'

My potted mint struggled a bit this summer, but it's making a comeback! Time for some adult mojitos and maybe a little sweet tea infused with fresh mint.

'Caramelized Vidalia Onion Dip'

The Vidalia onion season is near the end y'all, so get them in while you can! Caramelizing the onions for this classic sour cream and onion dip really takes it up a notch.

Beer Braised Hot Dogs

Anybody remember Lums Restaurants? 

I certainly do, and when they shut down sometime in the mid to late 70s here from my recollection, it was a little sad. You see, it used to be a regular after school pit stop for a lot of us, including me!
