Frito-Lay Tailgating Giveaway
By valmg on Oct 06, 2009 with Comments 99

We love to snack in our house. My favorite snack of all time is Fritos. TJ’s favorite chip of all time is classic Lays. We always have these snacks in the house and I buy at least one bag every week. If we’re having company or watching any sporting events I stock up. We actually love many Frito-Lay products, which is why it was so cool that I was offered the opportunity to work with them to put together this fun giveaway celebrating the kick off of the football season.
For many people tailgating brings to mind foods such as hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage and saucy wings. We tailgated at the Nascar race in Dover last week and that was pretty standard fare throughout the lots. Not the healthiest foods in the world. Frito-Lay wants to remind us that fun foods can be healthier than we think and still be tasty. All you need to do is incorporate some “better for you” ingredients like tomatoes, avocados, olives, fresh salsa, reduced fat shredded cheese, Frito-Lay Bean Dip, reduced fat sour cream and lean turkey instead of ground beef.
“We know few people go to tailgate parties for the veggie – it’s definitely a time to indulge and enjoy. But it doesn’t have to be a total eating catastrophe. At Frito-Lay, our portion control sizes make it easy to enjoy all your favorite treats – in moderation. And simple “tricks” like offering dips made with reduced-fat sour cream or that offer positive nutrition like salsa or guacamole, cooking with lean turkey meat and fat-free refried beans can cut hundreds of calories off your meals and still taste great for you and your hungry fans.”
Are you up to the challenge of creating a tasty “better for you” tailgate party recipe? If you are, stick around and enter the contest.

This is a simple dip that is delicious and is to be dipped with Tostitos Scoops which are shaped perfectly for this…
Easy Guacamole Dip
Beat together one 8-ounce package of softened cream cheese and one 8-ounce carton of dairy reduced fat sour cream with an electric mixer or a blender which I have found is easier until fluffy. Then Stir one diced up avocado and red onion into sour cream dip that you just mixed and add a dash of garlic pepper. Make sure all is well mixed and spoon into bowl/dish put on platter and surround with Tositos Scoops and enjoy…..
