This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Save-A-Lot. The opinions and text are all mine. With game day right around the corner, it's time to start thinking snacks. While I do love traditional hot wings, heavy dips, and super fattening foods, my pants sure don't! My husband is a big football fan. He likes to invite his friends over to yell at the TV and eat snacks on Sundays (or tailgate as he calls it). I, on the other hand, am not a football fan. Terrible thing to say, I know. I just can't get into it! But, just because I don't love the game, doesn't mean I can't enjoy the snacks. I do love stuffing my face for 3 hours. If only the calories didn't count Keep Reading

So, as you can imagine, I have a years worth of ham to use from Easter and a family that won't even look at a leftover if they were starving to death in the jungle. Keep Reading

Twice Baked Potato Skins
One of my favorite appetizers is twice baked potato skins. They’re basically deluxe baked potatoes made into a finger food. Loaded with cheddar cheese, bacon, sour cream and green onions, potato skins are an appetizer that can easily take the place of a meal! No wonder everyone in my family loves them. Even better, it’s super easy to make twice baked potato skins to suit anyone’s taste. Like Tex Mex? Replace the bacon with black beans and corn and top with a little salsa. Prefer Italian? Use Italian sausage instead of bacon and mozzarella instead of cheddar, then top with a spoonful of spaghetti sauce. Plus, you know I’m frugal! Potatoes are so inexpensive, but very filling.
