BBQ Chicken Bacon Nachos

Hellooooo first football Sunday of the year!!

This is the kind of thing where, if I had my shit together, I would have posted this nacho beauty last weekend so you could make it for the first football Sunday of the year. But since last weekend I was busy wedding dress shopping (!!!) and making cookies, I hope you’ll forgive me. Besides, we have an entire glorious five months of football Sundays to look forward to, so I think we’re still cool.

Besides, eating an entire tray of BBQ chicken bacon nachos was not my least favorite way to spend the first football Sunday of the year. In fact, one might say it was THE BEST WAY EVER to spend the first football Sunday of the year. One might definitely say that.

It’s been way too long since we did snacks up right and proper.

Which is not cool. Cuz snacks are one of the most important parts of the day! I have never been a three-solid-meals-and-that’s-it kinda girl. I’m more of a breakfast-snack-lunch-snack-dinner-snack kinda girl. So you see why I take my snacks really seriously around here. I’m obsessed with homemade granola bars and hummus (and hummus and more hummus) and pita chips and greek yogurt and granola – I mean, let’s be real, many of my favorite foods are snack-type foods. I just love the variety, the creativity, the snacking possibilities – I can’t help myself!

Now if this isn’t the spring-iest thing that has ever sprung from my kitchen, I don’t know what is.

A few weeks ago we started easing into bright, fresh spring-y greens with some, uh, mac n’ cheese. With peas though!! And it was marvelous and cozy and the perfect season-straddling dish. But now? It’s May, yo! It’s full-on spring up in here. And my cravings are aligning with the spring in the air and the promise of long summer days (and eek, bathing suits?!?!) on the horizon.
