Katie Lee Joel Hosted Holiday Mix & Mingle Event at the Betty Crocker Kitchens


It's getting deep into the heart of football showdowns with college bowl games starting on Saturday and the NFL playoffs right around the corner. So, for the countless football parties you'll be hosting you will need an inexpensive, yet tasty snack to stave off rabid football fans.

Katie Lee Joel, TV food personality and author of
The Comfort Table, an entertaining and recipe book, recently hosted a holiday Mix and Mingle event at the Betty Crocker Kitchens in Minneapolis, MN. At the event, Katie mixed and mingled with guests, announced Original Chex Party Mix as America 's favorite recipe and discussed budget-friendly holiday entertaining.

"The Original Chex Party Mix was the recipe that I used to make with my grandmother, so it came as no surprise that it was voted as 'America's Favorite,'" says Joel. "I like to make it for game-day parties, but will also give it a little extra kick by adding hot sauce to it."
