Entertaining – T.W.O.

T.W.O. decided to indulge in the culture of the world cup and make a modified version of traditional nachos. This modification is similar to that of the Brazilian party time snack! Check out how we turned this recipe into a T.W.O. dish! Note – make it a meal by adding chicken or meat!!

World Cup Nachos

Ingredients:
– 3 Russell potatoes
– 4 Tablespoons olive oil
– 1 can black beans, low sodium
– 2 bell peppers
– 2 jalapenos
– 1 cup pico de gallo salsa
– 2 ½ cups jalapeno jack cheese, shredded
– Salt
– Pepper

Drections:
1. Preheat oven to 415ᴼ.
2. Wash and dry the potatoes. Thinly slice the potatoes to make “chips”.
3. Brush the potatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
4. Place potatoes in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until soft.
5. Remove from the oven and top with cheese, jalapenos, black beans and bell pepper.
6. Bring oven to 450ᴼ. Watch carefully. If the top is burning, reduce heat. Make sure the cheese is melted before removing from the oven.
7. Once the nachos are done, remove and let it sit for 3-5 minutes prior to serving.
8. Plate and serve. Top with pico de gallo and your favorite hot sauce.
9. Turn on the World Cup and you have yourself a party!

Go USA!

Ever been to a party, put your wine glass down and come back confused on which glass is yours? It probably happened over Thanksgiving to a lot of people, right? Well, it happened to T.W.O.! We decided to come up with something creative to solve this problem. And that we did! T.W.O. added some foliage to our wine stems to not only give the glass some style, but also as a perfect identifier for everyone’s glass.

T.W.O. and company decided to make this a DIY craft event! We gave each person some raffia and allowed each person to pick his or her own “identifier.” Some of these items were flowers, wine corks, leaves, and twigs. It was a hit and not one glass was mistaken for another’s!

This is a great way to decorate wine glasses when you have a large number of guests using the same wine glass. You can either decorate them ahead of time or allow guests to decorate their own after their arrival! T.W.O. will be decorating their wine glasses this Christmas with some holiday decorations….stay tuned!!

Happy crafting!
