Donna Kelce Shares Fun Facts About her Sons and Talks Leftovers
In a delightful stroll down memory lane, Donna Kelce, mother of NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce, reveals some interesting details about her sons, including their love for their childhood cat. Donna shares that their family cat, Flash, was adored by both Jason and Travis, as he exhibited remarkable athleticism. Though the Kelce family currently doesn't include any cats, there may be a furry addition in Jason's future, as his wife, Kylie, expressed her desire to get a cat on a recent podcast episode. It seems Kylie's hope for a feline companion may have been postponed due to their hectic schedule and the upcoming Super Bowl.
Donna also reminisces about her sons' insatiable appetites and the challenges of dealing with leftovers. With their hearty appetites, the boys rarely left any leftovers. However, Donna would often prepare large quantities of food, hoping to stretch the meals over several days. Unfortunately, the boys would polish off the leftovers within the same night, leading to minor food-related disputes. In an attempt to ease the situation, Donna resorted to labeling Ziploc bags with their names or portioning out the leftovers beforehand.
As the newly appointed Chief Leftovers Officer for Ziploc, Donna shares another tidbit from her parenting days – the boys' love for rigatoni, which often became the source of leftover-related squabbles. These days, Donna believes her sons focus on maintaining a balanced diet, including plenty of vegetables. With an entourage to cook for them, often a chef or their respective spouses, the Kelce brothers utilize Ziploc bags to keep their fridge well-stocked with portioned meals. Apart from the convenience factor, Donna emphasizes the importance of minimizing food waste by using Ziploc bags to store and preserve leftovers.
Donna's appointment as Chief Leftovers Officer also provides an opportunity to raise awareness about food waste. She highlights the staggering amount of food wasted after major events like the Super Bowl, where an estimated 18 million pounds of food is discarded. Donna encourages guests and hosts to bring their own Ziploc bags to reduce this wastage significantly. She even shares a clever trick for stadium-goers – if you forget your clear bag, a gallon-sized Ziploc bag can serve as an approved alternative for carrying your belongings into the stadium.
Donna Kelce's walk down memory lane offers a fascinating insight into the lives of her sons, Jason and Travis Kelce. From their pet cat Flash to their love for rigatoni, these anecdotes showcase a more personal side of the famous NFL brothers. Additionally, Donna's role as Chief Leftovers Officer shines a light on the importance of reducing food waste and the practicality of using Ziploc bags to preserve and organize meals.
