As I'm a Broncos fan, I was stressing hard when Peyton Manning went out of action in November. Then there was that loss to the Raiders. Morale was low and I knew my compadres would need some extra team spirit. Regular ole chips and guac wouldn't do -- not this Sunday. The only thing that would work would be something blue and orange... and fried.
Enter Velveeta sticks enrobed in crushed blue corn chips and fried to a crisp. With snacks like these, everybody wins. Except the Patriots, they did not win.
