This Summer add artisan twist to your @TheRealTriscuit #foodie #playwithyourfood

Summer vacation is quickly underway making it the perfect time to think about creative snack ideas for your kids. Whether you’re planning a picnic, embarking on a road trip, or sending your kids off to day camp, I was pleased to learn  Triscuit has partnered with five artisanal food producers 

to create exclusive products specifically designed for Original Triscuit crackers. Topping the Original Triscuit this summer:

 Detroit’s McClure’s Pickles’ Olive Tapenade,

 Brooklyn’s The Jam Stand’s Cherry Ginger Jam,

 Orlando’s Wondermade’s Blackberry Marshmallow,<--CHECK OUT THIS SITE SUPER SELECTION OF MARSHMALLOWS THEY EVEN HAVE A ROOT-BEER FLAVOR I THINK I'LL BE ORDERING! 

 Portland Oregon’s Olympia Provisions’ Summer Sausage 

and Georgia’s Savannah Bee Company’s White Honey with Passion Fruit.

I was sent a box of Triscuits and the Olive Tapenade and Cherry Ginger Jam so I gave these recipes a try.

McClure’s Pickles

Olive Tapenade, Goat Cheese, Chives

1.       Start with an Original Triscuit cracker

2.       Spread goat cheese on cracker

3.       Add McClure’s Olive Tapenade

4.       Top with chopped Chives

I have to be honest I'm not the BIGGEST Olive fan but this was yummy!!

The Jam Stand

Cherry Ginger Jam, Brie, Walnuts

1.       Start with an Original Triscuit cracker

2.       Spread The Jam Stand’s Cherry Ginger Jam on cracker

3.       Add a piece of brie

4.       Top with chopped walnuts

This was like biting into HEAVEN!!!

Making these recipes got me in the mood to make a 4th of July sampler. My Kids were all to eager to pitch in with ides and to taste test.
We came up with a few toppings and tested what two would be the stars for our 4th BBQ:

I did a baked mac&cheese on top of the Triscuit
a taco in a bow and Triscuits for dipping
peanut-butter with chocolate covered pretzel
and the Cherry Ginger Jam mixed with Cream Cheese topped with apple sliver

After much deliberation and me sweating it out like I was being judged 
on Top Chief the top two picks were announced!!


The Baked Mac&Cheese and the Jame with Apple!!

This Summer I encourage you to have a Triscuit Tasting day...week...or try a new recipe every day. Check out their PINTEREST BOARD the ideals are endless!
