Crunch Crew, gorgeous fall weather is finally here! ‘Tis the season for cozy sweaters, comfort foods, and spending quality time with family and friends. It’s the time of year for delicious soups and hearty home-cooked meals that are perfect for your Sunday night football viewing parties or to warm you up after a long day enjoying the cool weather with your crew. We at John Wm. Macy’s are excited to share some of the best ways we enjoy the season!
Making the Most of the Season
The autumn season brings some of our favorite outdoor activities! Spending a weekend tailgating at your favorite football team’s game or enjoying long walks in the crisp outdoors are great ways to celebrate the season. Be sure to bring a bag of our John Wm. Macy’s Asiago & Cheddar Cheese Crisps along on all your fall adventures to stay fueled with a delicious crunchy snack on the go!
Butternut Squash Soup for the Soul
There is nothing better than cooking with fresh seasonal vegetables, and we have the perfect savory Butternut Squash Soup recipe here to satisfy your fall flavor cravings. This creamy soup topped with our John Wm. Macy’s Rosemary & Cheddar CheeseCrisps is a flavor match made in heaven. What better way is there to unwind after a long fall day than curling up on your couch with a heaping bowl of comfort?
The Perfect Crunchy Addition to Your Sports-Viewing Menu
Football season is in full swing, which means you may find yourself hosting your crew for game day. We always like to keep some John Wm. Macy’s Grilled Crostini Toasts on hand for all entertaining purposes. Whether you are serving them as the base for a juicy bruschetta, an addition to a colorful charcuterie board, or alongside your favorite party dip, the possibilities are endless! However you decide to serve your dish, we’re sure it will be the star of the game!
