I have a pretty good streak going on. I have been winning book club for 3 months straight now. Yeah, I’m that awesome.
That, or I had all day to prepare my contributions to our snack pile. It wasn’t really fair.
I became mildly obsessed with The Chew this summer while I had some time to watch daytime TV. I don’t know about you, but I love talk shows. Throw in a talk show completely about food and I’m hooked. I happened to be watching The Chew the day of book club and after it appeared on the show, I decided that this was going to be my addition to our book club snacks.
These are super easy to make and can be made almost entirely from store bought items, all you have to do is put it together. If you don’t feel like making the cilantro sauce, you could use salsa, or just skip it all together. The guacamole is still good by itself. This would be the perfect addition to your next football party. Then you can win the party too!
