Congratulations to Queen of the Free!

Can you believe how time flies? I can't! Was it that long ago from the last Super Bowl? The dismay and frustrations still seem fresh if you ask me. Unreal as it may seem, Super Bowl 44th is almost here. And you know what that means! Overflowing tons of Chips and Salsas in my house! Yum yum...

If you're an old-timer in my blog, then you're fully aware how much hubby loves football, and yes, I tolerate him. My 5 year old daughter has also caught this football bug. So this year will be quite interesting, mildly put. As for me, I'm all for the chips and salsas! Oh, the salsas that want me to dance the la Curacha...
 
Obviously, I love salsa dips if you can't already tell! Thankfully, Old El Paso via MyBlogSpark was generous enough to provide me the "Tackle the Taste" gift pack that included two 4.5 oz of their canned Green Chiles, a football-shaped ceramic serving platter, two sets of football-themed plates, cocktail napkins and a themed table runner (like the one pictured below) to help me score a great mealtime touchdown this year!

According to a survey done for Old El Paso Green Chiles this year, 61% of adults plan to watch the big game and dishes on top of their lists are:

Chips and dip salsa 67%. Wings 57%. Nachos 33%. Veggies and dip 29%. Chili 24%

Now if you're feeling adventurous like me, here are some quick recipe ideas with a prep time of less than 30 minutes each that you can stick your magic spoon in:

Nachos Green Chile Dip Green Chile Cornbread

Taco Nachos Black Bean Dip Slow Cooker Salsa Chili

Seven-Layer Bean Dip Skillet Nacho Chili Southwestern Dip

You can also grab a coupon to save $0.55 on one can of Old El Paso Green Chiles to get you started. Feeling the excitement yet? You should because what's next is a giveaway! One lucky reader will win a Tackle the Taste Gift Pack!
