Football season is upon us, which means tailgating and football parties, and that means preparing food & drinks for lots of hungry people. Our Lake of the Ozarks gift shop has a large variety of mouth-watering gourmet mixes that will allow you to make some very impressive treats to fill up those football lovers. Today we are featuring a few recipe ideas from two of Good & Perfect Gifts' most popular companies: molly & drew-the Beer Bread Company, and Wind & Willow.
MOLLY & DREW
The delicious Beer Bread Company mixes from molly & drew combine two things that are always welcome when football is on: beer & snacks! (Although you can use another carbonated beverage in place of the beer for these recipes if you prefer.) You can bake the beer bread in mini muffin tins for a tray full of bite-size treats for the crowd. A few flavors we carry are: American Original, Gluten Free Original, Garlic Parmesan, and Taste of Tuscany.
These mixes also make amazing pizza crusts! Simply add 12 ounces of beer or another carbonated beverage to the mix and spread the dough onto a greased pizza pan or stone, bake at 350° until lightly browned, add toppings, then return to the oven until toppings are done. For a thicker crust, simply use less liquid. The dip mixes from molly & drew even taste great as a pizza topping.
You can tackle dessert with molly & drew mixes too. A new item that we have at Good & Perfect Gifts is their Mug Cake Kits. They are super simple to make, as the video below demonstrates, and as it states, you can have "cake today and, coffee tomorrow" thanks to the adorable cup that the mix comes in. (It's not too early to start thinking about Christmas stocking stuffers, and these would be perfect!) When they're done, you'll have a single serving of yummy Ooey Gooey Chocolate Brownie Cake Mix to enjoy.
WIND & WILLOW
The incredible mixes from Wind & Willow are extremely versatile, allowing you to use them for much more than dips. The Brick Oven Pizza Cheesball & Appetizer Mix, when baked onto pizza crust, gives your homemade pizza a brick oven taste. Stuffed jalapenos are a popular football food, and many of the dips make an incredible filler for those. The BLT Cheeseball Appetizer Mix is used in these delicious Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos.
You can choose your favorite flavors of Wind & Willow's Cheeseball & Appetizer Mixes to add a tasty kick to steak fries, along with a little olive oil and shredded cheeses. The perfect companion to those burgers & brats on the grill. The Spinach-Artichoke Cheeseball & Appetizer Mix will please your crowd simply used as a dip, but you can also stuff it into a few mushroom caps and really impress their taste buds.
Last but not least, everyone will want something sweet to go along with all of the salty and spicy flavors of the day. The Lemon or Key Lime Pie Cheeseball & Dessert Mixes make a flavorful quick cheesecake. This season is also perfect for the Caramel Apple Cheeseball & Dessert Mix. It tastes amazing spread onto apple slices, or you can make this Caramel Apple Popcorn. Your guests will be eating it in great big handfuls!
Great Food for Hungry Crowds
The best part about these recipes is that they require very little effort to prepare, yet they taste as if you slaved away in the kitchen all day long. The gourmet mixes that we carry often change from season to season, so you will want to stop by our gift shop at the Lake of the Ozarks to see what we have for you this week. Good & Perfect Gifts in Eldon can even help you with creative recipe ideas for the items that we carry. Whip up a few of these treats, and your guests will be the real winners at your next football party.
