Sprinkle crescent rolls with garlic powder. Place rolls on baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes. Serve with a side of pizza sauce.

Mini Taco Bowls

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

2 tbsp taco seasoning

1 diced tomato

6 jalepeno slices

12 corn tortillas

Shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Brown ground beef in pan and drain, dice jalepenos and add to beef.

Add 1/4 cup water and taco seasoning and cook over medium heat until water is absorbed, then reduce heat to low.

Heat each tortilla in the microwave for around 30 seconds

Using a 3 inch cutter cut 2 circles from each tortilla.

Press each circle into the cup of a mini muffin pan, then place in 350 degree oven for about 12 minutes.

Place each shell on cooling rack and fill with taco meat and top with cheese, diced tomato, and sour cream.

DIY Football Snack cups

Supplies

Brown construction paper

White paper

Brown yarn

Scissors

Three-hole punch

Glue

Football template

Instructions

Trace around your template onto brown construction paper, and cut out. You will need two football shapes for each snack cup.

Cut and glue strips from the white paper, to create the laces of the football. You will need about five.

Match up two of the football shapes, and while holding them together, punch holes along the bottom, about 1/2 inch apart.

Using yarn, lace through the holes. Secure each end with a knot and fill with your favorite game day snack.

Football Mason Jars

Supplies

Pint mason jars with lids and bands

White chalk paint

Crown chalk paint

1? paint brush

Instructions

Begin with brown chalk paint. Using the 1? paint brush, paint the brown paint over on the outside of the mason jar. Let it dry completely. Continue adding coats of paint until the entire jar is covered. For me, it took three coats of paint. Let dry completely.

Use the white chalk paint to paint lines like football on the smooth side of the mason jar. One side of the mason jar has ridges, and the other side should be smooth. Let the paint dry. Now decorate! You can add ribbons and stickers.
