THE BIG GAME

So if you live in Wisconsin you very well know that tonight is one of the biggest Foot Ball games of the year.  The Green Bay Packers vs. the New Orleans Saints.   EVERYONE in my house is a huge Packer fan.  So, whenever the Packers play I try to make it as special as we can for everyone.  To help show our support for the green & gold we all wore our packer gear.  My youngest doesn't have her own jersey yet, so we let her use my extra....it was only 10x's too big for her!  For our foot ball snack I made green & gold popcorn.  It turned out fantastic!  Here is a sample of what our final product looked like.

This photo doesn't do it justice.  But boy did my girls & Dan chow down on it.  Its so simple to do.  I used microwave popcorn, once it was popped, I put half of the popcorn in a ziploc bag & added 6 drops of green food coloring.  This is where the kids get to help.  I let my daughter shake the popcorn until she felt that all the kernels had enough coloring.  I than add 6 drops of yellow food coloring to the remainder of the popcorn & again let my daughter shake away.  We than dumped both colors of popcorn together in our big popcorn bowl.  It was the hit of the night.  You can easily do this project yourself & dye the popcorn any colors you want with a few drops of the food coloring of your choice.
