The Kickoff. 

You win the toss and it’s time to kickoff…the entire off-season has been spent preparing for this moment so you better be ready! Treat your guests to some great appetizers as they pick their seats. Here are some of our favorites:

• Lexi’s Guacamole with Late July Tortilla Chips
• HopDevil Cheddar Spreads on Field Day Crackers
• Bruschetta on house-made Crostini
• Lexi’s Cheese Platter, party sized and complete with pepperoni!
• Spinach Artichoke Dip

• 1/2 cup canned or marinated artichoke hearts, drained
• 2 cups fresh spinach, washed
• 1 green onion
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon pickled jalapeño peppers
• 3 tablespoons roasted red peppers, drained and diced
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Mince the artichoke hearts, spinach, jalapeño pepper and green onion. Place them into a mixing bowl, add the Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice and roasted red peppers, then fold the ingredients together.

The Rookies.

Prove your pro status by laying out a fresh-faced veggie platter! There’s nothing like letting out your nervous energy by chomping down on a piece of celery. Your co-op is stocked with local tomatoes, peppers, cauliflower, and broccoli. Add some celery for an easy, and healthy snack. Even better than making your own, check out our selection of fresh veggie and olive trays in the grab-n-go section! For a some quick dips let Lexi’s Kitchen help you out with our new Tzatziki or our classic French Onion dip.

Touchdown!

Score big by busting our the beer. Spicy foods like salsa and Buffalo wings go great with pale ales and IPAs. Grilling? Go with something heavier, like a Belgian-style Siason. Celebrate the Boys of Fall with the a great selection of fall beers, already at your co-op! We are loving Copper Legend’s Oktoberfest and Southern Tier’s Pumpking beers right now.
