Smart & Final Extra!

Decorating makes everything seem a little more festive and that goes for food, too! Sprinkle a little holiday spirit on your dessert by topping First Street Brownies with strawberries and a little bit of First Street Whipped Topping. These fruity chocolatey Santa Hat bites are perfect for sharing but if you polish off a whole plate by yourself, hats off to you! Raspberries and blackberries could also work--what’s your favorite way to top a brownie?

We know you're busy prepping and chopping and cutting and brining, so we wanted to take a minute to remind you of our holiday hours! Stay up to date on store policies and FAQs on our website, and if you need any further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out, over the phone or online! https://www.smartandfinal.com/contact-us

Forget the ones on the field for a moment, because everyone knows deep down that the balls that matter most when you’re watching the game are the ones made of food. Whether it’s spicy pork meatballs, traditional beef with tomato sauce, or some kind of chicken/turkey hybrid ball, those savory spheres are the most fun way to add some flavor to football night.

For many of us, the availability of an entire tray of brownies or a whole cake in the house is a temptation irresistible to all but the strongest among us. Yet the prospect of absolutely no sweets is a fate that’s barely worth contemplating. Enter the Holiday Hack, just in time for Microwave Day. Combine your favorite pre-made mix with water or milk, microwave and voila! Fill us in on your favorite dessert hack in the comments!

Whether you stick ‘em in your hot chocolate, hang ‘em on the tree, or just eat ‘em, the holiday season hasn’t officially started until you’ve had your first candy cane. Maybe you’re a red -&-white cane purist, or maybe you’re a forward thinking radical who loves multi-colored canes in a variety of different flavors. Either way, when it comes to these twisted delights, everyone’s a sucker.

Class things up with a festive cookie platter that only looks a whole lot more complicated than it is. Just spread those cookies out, and garnish with mini candy canes and a sprig of holly or two. And yes, this counts as cooking. Which cookies would your platter be incomplete without? -- Drop it in the comments!

Anyone else crushed by the big gaping hole on the fridge where their holiday art used to be? Well, we’ve got the cure with yet another pasta craft, this one dedicated to celebrating the most festive and fragrant houseplant of them all, the Christmas tree. All you need is some rotini pasta, elbow macaroni, red and green paint and, yes, GLITTER. Also, there is ONE MORE DAY left in Pastathon!
