Hey Folks!!! Ok, so the bottom fell out. Thank God for the convenience of my fitbit to keep my health goals in check!! Gotta make concessions for the Super Bowl, right? You know how much of a Tex-Mex Foodie Lover I am.  So I am so uber excited to tell you about these yummy Totchos!! Totchos??? Yes, tater tots plus all of the nacho fixins’ = TOTCHOS!!!  Who doesn’t love a tater tot? I absolutely loved tater tots growing up as they are so kid friendly. These Spicy Totchos {Tater Tot Nachos} are great for your upcoming Super Bowl parties. Who are you behind by the way? The Atlanta Falcons or The New England Patriots? Remember, I already mentioned that we’re for the Falcons this Sunday. Hubby doesn’t seem to care for The Patriots due to their lack of integrity in the past so The Falcons it is!! Go Falcons!!

What deliciousness are you preparing by the way? If you’re still looking for more ideas, be sure to check out these Party Buffalo Chicken Sliders, Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings, my Shrimp Jalapeno Popper Dip, these Grilled Steak Fajita Nachos, this Slow Cooker Spicy White Bean Chicken Chili and of course, these Game Day Spicy Totchos {Tater Tot Nachos}. I’m sure they’ll be HUGE hits at your game day parties on Sunday!!

Speaking of good character and integrity, Colossians 3:23-24 (KJV) reads “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” Paul encourages us to operate in honesty and integrity as God would have us to do. Yes, even in the little things like not removing that pen from the office or putting that box of cereal back to place you pulled it from in the grocery store before you changed your mind on it. Operating in integrity and excellence is one of the keys to living a life of prosperity. I don’t know about you but I’ll take prosperity in every area of my life for the win!  Amen? Say Grace and enjoy these early for National Tater Tot Day tomorrow!!! 🙂
