A Soccer Field Dinner Idea

Last week we ate dinner at the soccer field three times. Don't you just love evening games?! It gets challenging to figure out portable dinners, and for some reason all of us eating early at 4:00 or 4:30 just doesn't work well. Someone gave me the idea of spooning chili directly into a frito chip bag and eating it right out of the bag with disposable spoons. Throw everything away when you're done and there's nothing to clean up! (except the chili pan of course) We tried it one night last week and it worked GREAT! The kids loved it and it was quite delicious. I'll definitely be trying it again, especially in the fall when the weather at games can be quite cold.



Note to self: get the bigger size individual bags of fritos if you don't want everyone returning to the van multiple times for seconds and thirds.

those are called "walking taco's" ;o)

you can also add shredded cheese and sour cream. you could also use disposable bowls if you have those on hand - a little more roomy.

Well, this is an ingenious idea. Spaghetti, brought in the crock, and served in styrofoam cups. I think there may be endless variations of this idea!

I didn't know they had a name! I have a large bag of disposable bowls actually, but the novelty of eating out of the chip bag was a pretty big hit with the children. :0)

We did add shredded cheese on top. Yum!
