Yesterday, the first episode of The Bachelor premiered on ABC. So, you know what I will be doing on Monday nights. Whether you love keeping up with Bachelor Nation, or you want nothing to do with it, we all have that one show that we get excited to watch. Some of my favorite shows to watch are The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Big Brother, Manifest, Survivor, Americas Got Talent and This is Us.
Watching your favorite show is a great way time to relax and spend time with family and friends. Also, there’s one more thing I get excited for when my favorite show comes on…a great excuse to make fun food!!! For The Bachelor premiere, my Mom and I made a super yummy HelloFresh meal and nachos.
The HelloFresh meal we made was Sesame Glazed Sweet Potato Tacos. I really like making HelloFresh meals because you get everything you need sent right to your door, in the exact portions that you need. Also, the boxes come with instructions that are super easy to follow and have pictures that make everything really clear. I am usually a really picky eater so I was nervous to try a recipe like this. I was very pleasantly surprised! This meal was so good and I would definitely get it again. Also, I was surprised by the size of the portions. I got the meals for 2 people and I was thinking that the portions were going to be really small, but there was plenty of food plus extra. HelloFresh allows me to try different meals that I probably wouldn’t have made otherwise. Trying these boxes makes me want to try more foods and different recipes.
Another thing we made for the show was barbecue chicken nachos! These nachos are one of my favorite foods and they are so easy to make. All you have to do is cut up some chicken and cook it on the stove with barbecue sauce. Then, put some chips on a pan and add more barbecue to the top and sprinkle on some cheese. After that, cover the chips with the cooked chicken and add some more cheese to the top. Then, put the chips in the oven at 350 degrees just until the cheese is melted. Take them out, add some banana peppers and there you go. You have some super yummy nachos to eat while you watch!
Put on your comfy clothes!!! I have to put on my comfy clothes when I watch my favorite show so that I can relax and just be comfortable. I also love watching with my friends or family. It is so much fun because I get to spend time with them, and also talk about the show as we watch.
Lastly, when watching reality shows like Big Brother, The Bachelor or Survivor it is fun to guess who you think is going to win. This year, for The Bachelor, we all wrote down who we thought would win on a piece of paper during the first episode of the show. Then, we sealed the envelope and we didn’t tell anyone who we wrote down. Playing games like this one is an interactive way to get involved with the show and it is fun to make guesses.
