  What’s Tailgating without Food?

  Tailgating just wouldn’t be tailgating without delicious munchies on the grill or off! This week we thought we’d share some of our favorite recipes from the Sitting Dux kitchens to fortify your team. Yum!

  Miss Jenn’s 7 Layer Dip

  Ingredients needed (size to fit your team):

  Refried Beans

  Shredded Cheese

  Lettuce

  Tomatoes

  Guacamole

  Sour Cream

  Salsa

  Tortilla chips

  How to make:

  First, get a serving dish!  Something that chips can easily scoop a messy dip out of.

  Layer One:  The refried beans.  I heat these up a little bit in a microwave safe bowl.  Typically about a minute.  Then I mix a little shredded cheese into it and put it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds.  Place this first layer in the serving dish.

  Layer Two:  Cheese, you will see cheese repeat itself in other layers, but this is one for itself.  Smother the refried beans in a layer of shredded cheesy goodness.

  Layer Three:  Cut up the lettuce into small bits to layer on top of the dip.  People need to be able to scoop it up easily, so no salad size pieces of lettuce.

  Layer Four: The tomatoes can be cut to your liking.  I dice mine to be able to sprinkle them over the top of the dip.

  Layer Five:  Before I put the guacamole on top I lay a little more cheese down.  I told you it would come back.  I place the guacamole over the top of the dip.

  Layer Six:  I am not a fan of sour cream, but many of my friends are.  When making this, they say it tastes great to have sour cream spread over the top.  I like to just put a dollop on the top of the dip for people to eat as they see fit.  Either way works for this tasty treat.

  Layer Seven:  Drizzle salsa over the top of the dip for a finishing touch.

  Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!

  Other good items to mix in: Hamburger meat with the refried beans.  Sliced jalapenos to accent the top.

  It’s halftime in our special Tailgating Week, and tailgating just wouldn’t be tailgating without delicious munchies on the grill or off! Miss Jenn is quite the munchie aficionado, so eat up! Kids, go ahead and try this at home.

  In honor of TAILGATING WEEK: A super fund-raising idea!

  A Super Fundraising idea!

  Dux D’Lux was delighted recently to work with the Parents in Public Schools program in West Point, MS to produce spirit-building items and a successful fund-raising campaign.

  Through contacts in our Facebook account, PIPS approached Dux D’Lux about producing some custom flags the organization was interested in hanging at each school in the system to build excitement and community pride. We helped them created simple but effective standard 3 x 5′ green flags to reflect their team colors.

  Then, PIPS came up with a great fund-raising idea to capitalize on their high school fan base, spurred by years of successful football teams. We were so pleased they decided to work with Dux to create fan tee shirts targeting men, women and Green Wave fans of all ages. The Dux D’Lux art staff produced designs for both black and pink tee shirts from the group’s ideas, and we were able to keep the costs down by sticking with 2-color artwork.

  PIPS kicked off their year and took tee shirt orders while Tailgating at WPHS’ first home football game. We printed over 500 tee shirts and completed them just in time for homecoming! Way to go, PIPS for your excellent work in support of West Point public schools!

  Oh, and congratulations on a great Homecoming win. Go Green WaveA Super Fundraising idea!
