Thanksgiving Twist: How to Use Spice Orbs in Your Holiday Stuffing, Sides, and Game Day Snacks

Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, and, of course, food. This year, add a unique twist to your holiday spread with Spice Orbs, which bring bold, delicious flavors to both traditional dishes and football-inspired game day snacks. Whether you’re looking to elevate classic sides or keep the football fans satisfied, Spice Orbs are your secret ingredient.

Elevate Your Brine with Spice Orbs

Brining is a great way to get flavor into your meat, but why not make it unforgettable? Incorporate the Carnitas or Tinga Spice Orb into your turkey brine for an unexpected depth of flavor. The aromatic blend of spices will infuse the meat as you bake in the oven. For a unique spin, try adding dried cranberries or chopped nuts for texture and a hint of sweetness.

 

 

Side Dishes That Steal the Show

Sides are often the unsung heroes of the Thanksgiving table. With Spice Orbs, you can turn those supporting dishes into showstoppers:

  • Mashed Potatoes: Stir unsalted melted butter mixed with a hint of Carnitas or Carne Asada Spice Orb seasoning to give mashed potatoes a subtle, smooth that complements the creamy texture.

  •  Green Beans: Sauté your green beans with a Tinga or Al Pastor Spice Orb for a burst of smoky and spicy notes that balance the natural sweetness of the beans.

  • Stuffed Squash: Use a Mole or Pozole Spice Orb to create a festive stuffed acorn or butternut squash, filled with rice, black beans, and vegetables for a beautiful and hearty vegetarian side.

       

      Game Day Snacks to Keep the Crowd Cheering

      Thanksgiving weekend means football, and game day calls for snacks that keep everyone fueled. Spice Orbs are perfect for quick and tasty bites:

      • Birria Nachos: Top tortilla chips with melted cheese, shredded chicken or carnitas, and sprinkle with shreds of Birria meat for extra flavor.

      • Carnitas Sliders: Toss shredded carnitas onto slider buns with a bit of coleslaw for a satisfying, game-ready snack.

      • Carne Asada Loaded Potato Skins: Fill baked potato halves with cheese, bacon bits, and chunks of Carne Asada for an irresistible appetizer.

      Pro Tips for Using Spice Orbs

      To get the most out of your Spice Orbs, add them early in the cooking process so the flavors have time to blend and develop. For game day snacks, it's best to start cooking or marinating a day before the event. 

      This Thanksgiving, make your table memorable and your football snacks legendary with the versatile flavors of Spice Orbs. From stuffing and sides to crowd-pleasing appetizers, Spice Orbs will elevate your holiday and game day spread.
