"I have partnered up with @cascadianfarm and @thefeedfeed to create a dynamo recipe that will be perfect for an autumn afternoon or game day celebration. #ad Who doesn’t love nachos? Who doesn’t love when nachos are paired up with potatoes? The answer? NO ONE! Using Cascadian Farm Spud Puppies as my nacho “chip,” I’ve created an incredibly flavorful tater tot nachos recipe with a spicy white cheddar queso, spicy beef, and a flavorful chipotle greek yogurt sauce. This dish is definitely something that will be a party pleaser...or perhaps just a “light” afternoon snack. I was able to pick up all of my ingredients at @FreshThyme Market in Lincoln Park. I love Fresh Thyme Market because of the fresh ingredients available...not to mention the quality. I loved being able to go up to the butcher knowing I was picking up quality beef to include in this recipe. Don't forget, Select Cascadian Farm Frozen Fruit products are on sale for the month of September."
