The Gameday Breakfast

by

Game Day Breakfast

As a second generation Florida Gator, I learned the importance of a substantial gameday breakfast early on.  And since I’m a savory breakfast kind of gal, egg sandwiches have always been my gameday go-to.

HEB Spicy Corn Relish

When I opened my September HEB Primo Picks box, visions of spicy egg goodness immediately popped into my head.  I toasted up some sprouted wheat bread, topped with sliced avocados, an over-medium egg, and HEB‘s Spicy Relish that Corn.  I dove in with a fork and knife (which were oh so necessary) and immediately wished I had more avocado so I could treat myself to seconds – it was SO wonderful.

Texas Tea and Vodka

Wonderful and… hot!  I dug through the box to see what I could snack on to calm the burn, when I found the perfect thing: Peach Texas Tea.  And then I thought “if this is a gameday breakfast, then surely this tea should be turned into a cocktail”.  So there ya have it!  As I cheer on the Gators in Austin this season, I’ll be enjoying a Texa-fied start to my gameday with a spicy corn relish egg sammie and a Texas Tea with a splash of Tito’s.

Whataburger Ketchup

A few weeks ago, HEB reached out to me about being a part of their Primo Picks program where they send you a sampling of products each month and you provide them with feedback.  And since I love trying new things and receiving packages, I gladly hopped on board.

The biggest hit this month was the Whataburger condiments.  Ordinarily, this wouldn’t be on my radar.  But now that I live in Austin and have a slew of native Texans on my friend-roll, Whataburger is a talked about thing.  I brought these condiments to a backyard BBQ and couldn’t wait to dig into the spicy ketchup – yum!  I’m looking forward to testing out spicy ketchup in my turkey meatloaf recipe.

Central Market Salsa

The Primo Picks box, that just happened to arrive on a Blues on the Green Wednesday, also included sweet potato chips and chile pequin salsa.  We packed them up for our bluesy snack and passed them around the checkered picnic blanket.  The salsa was a major crowd pleaser among the spice-lovers.  And even though this salsa was a tad on the spicy side for me, I’m definitely interested in checking out the other salsa flavors that Central Market has to offer.

Thank you HEB for including me in the Primo Picks program – I’m already looking forward to the arrival of the August box!

As part of the HEB Primo Picks program, I received compensation to sample these products.  The opinions in this post are completely my own and based on my experience.
