Happy Labor Day To All! We’ve made it to the 3rd and final installment of Hostess with the Mostest. The goal was to give you some delicious football season snacks to WOW your guest at all your Football gatherings.

We started with a tasty alternative to the standard chicken wings and did Mediterranean Chicken Skewers with a Greek Yogurt dipping sauce. Then we dove into the classic delicious homemade Salsa and Guacamole.

This week, for our final dish I am going to share my secret recipe for the best spinach dip EVER.

Here is the recipe…

Last week we started talking about the beginning of football season and all the eats that come along with it. This week, we are going to delve into Salsa and Guacamole. No, not the crap in a jar or the premade tubs of stuff in the produce section, I’m talking about fresh, homemade, can-I-get-some-more-of-that, famous Chef Michelle’s Salsa and Guac. The best thing about these two yummy dips is that they are super easy to make, but always impress a crowd.

Let’s get started, here are the recipes.

Football season is approaching us yet again, and with it, it brings potlucks, parties and gatherings. Every (wo)man should have their go to dishes that will woo their company. I’m not talking about wings and meatballs, let’s change it up (just a little) this year. On the menu this season we’ve got some homemade versions of some classic snacks, Mediterranean chicken skewers, Salsa, Guacamole and Spinach dip with Crostini to name a few.
Today let’s take a look at Mediterranean Chicken with Greek Yogurt dipping sauce.

Mediterranean Chicken Skewers

• ½ Tbs fresh chopped Thyme
• Bamboo skewers
• Greek yogurt dipping sauce
• 8oz plain Greek yogurt
• ½ cucumber seeded and finely diced
• 2 Tbs minced garlic
• ½ tbsp salt/white pepper

What You'll Need To Do:

1. Mix lemon, olive oil, salt/pepper, oregano and thyme in a Ziploc bag (large enough to hold the chicken).
2. Add the chicken to the Ziploc bag mixing well to ensure it is completely coated and allow to marinade for 30 minutes to an hour.
3. While the chicken is marinating, empty the yogurt into a bowl and add garlic, cucumber and salt/pepper.
4. Mix well and taste, add more salt/white pepper if necessary and refrigerate.
5. Once chicken is done marinating, skewer down the center and place on a foil lined baking sheet.

Last week, after being handed their first defeat all season, my son claimed a W for his last football game of the season. Because the team had been previously undefeated, his coaches lobbied the school for a night game and got it...on a Tuesday. Last night the team won a decisive 28-14 victory and finished the year with a 6-1 record. I shot 115 photos. Half of them were a complete and utter disaster. I'm not even going to bore you how many stupid mistakes I was making with the Canon Rebel XT I was shooting with. I was fussing with it when my son snatched a Hail Mary pass out of the sky and crashed back to Earth in the endzone for his first touchdown of the season. I won't let that happen again.

Finally, I figured out my settings and the other half came out nice. So nice, that I now know I need a better camera. Here are my favorites from my son's Tuesday Night Lights experience.



In the huddle. My boy (#15) and crew figuring out what to do.


Awww...yeah...


The blur is #13, the scoringest running back on the team. I spent the entire season trying to catch him with my camera. Clearly it's not happening.


Going in for the kill...


I love this photo. It's so rugged.


My son's newest and growing fan.


Standing by while Coach observes.


The game is coming to a close.


Good sportsmanship...always necessary.


My little boy is no little boy...anymore.
