Football Friday: Snacks Aplenty

The best part of Football Sunday is definitely the food! And after some major upsets last week; the Wisconsin Test Kitchen needed all the comfort food they could get... Whole 30 compliant comfort food, of course. Between the Raiders and the Saints, and the Panthers falling to the Broncos- it was a rough weekend. But- snacks!!! And a Packers win!!! 

Since the weather was beautiful, we grilled out burgers and brats, and made mashed sweet potatoes. And during the games, we snacked on some homemade guacamole and fresh vegetable slices. We also made a basil pesto aioli for the burgers; and we ended up slathering it on everything: it was SO tasty. I anticipate us making this again immediately (tomorrow) since our basil plant has gotten out of control with all the rain we've gotten lately. 

Here are the recipes for the snacks we made. They both required minimal prep work, and were completely gone by the end of football Sunday.
