Cooking Games – The Perfect Fireside Snack


Now that the summer is wrapping up, it’s time to start thinking of autumn nights and perhaps the first true cold front of the season. As the weather cools down, the kitchen can start to heat up – make yourself a delicious fireside snack to enjoy on your first cold night this autumn.

A hot drink – The perfect snack has to start with a hot drink. Whether you like hot chocolate, hot cider, tea or coffee, plan to brew up something how and steamy. Top it with a cinnamon stick or some marshmallows, use a big over-sized mug and then plan the rest of the snack.

Savory foods – The fire means it’s time to savor your foods. To do this, you’ll need something hot. Nachos are a great savory item that is easy to pull together. Chips, beans, cheese and tomatoes are all cooked together to be a hot, yummy snack. Warm bread, hot sandwiches and small quiches are also easy things to pull together or heat up to snack on.

Something sweet – Finally, you’ll need something sweet to snack on. A warm piece of pie is delicious by the fireside or opt for some cake to settle the sweet tooth. Hot brownies are delicious as well – get creative and enjoy the delicious nature of food on a cold night.
