Super Weekend and Menu

We had a great weekend here! I love when you can go into the work week satisfied with your weekend and looking forward to the next. Saturday we celebrated the birthday of a friend of ours, and it was a great night! I didn't take any photos (of course) but my brother and his fiance were in town and they watched Carter for us. Carter loves them!

Sunday we went to church then we geared up for the Superbowl.

Carter was very busy!

We got together at my parents house and it ended up being the four of us (well, five with Carter!) My brother and Amy left earlier than planned due to the snow storm we got yesterday and today, so even though we were sad to see them go we knew it was better that they left ahead of the storm.

We don't normally let Carter watch TV, but she did get to watch a few minutes of the Superbowl!

This was our spread for the big game:

I contributed bean dip and chicken wing dip in a bread bowl. We came home with leftovers of both dips, pizza, and wings, so lots of leftovers! In fact, we also have leftovers from the meal my brother made while they were babysitting, so I don't have to cook for a few days!

Here's what our week will look like:

Sunday: Superbowl food

Monday: Chicken Alfredo leftovers

Tuesday: pizza and wings leftovers

Wednesday: Leftovers or soup

Thursday: Slow cooker General Tso's Chicken over rice with broccoli

Friday: homemade pizza

For baking this week, I'm thinking about trying these Apple Crisp Muffins to have for breakfasts. I'm learning I need something quick these days!

Are you ready for some football?

Last Thursday the hubs and I participated in a fantasy football draft, but before I get to that I wanted to share last night's dinner with you. We had pesto mushroom pizza with tater tots, and it was pretty darn good!

In the background you can see my dipping sauce of choice - Marie's Guacamole dip. Marie's dips were on sale this week, and I picked this up on a whim. It's actually pretty good and should satisfy my avocado cravings when I don't feel like eating a whole avocado ;)

Anyway, FOOTBALL! Oddly enough, my husband is not a huge football fan, but a friend has a fantasy team and asked him if he wanted to sign up. We decided we would do it together, and the draft was lots of fun. I wont go through the whole draft, but some of the highlights were: Roddy White, Marshawn Lynch, Blair Walsh, Reggie Bush, and Eli Manning (I have loved him for a while!). Not exactly an all star team, but I think we have a shot. I'll try to remember to post updates every once in a while.

Today after work will consist of mowing my lawn and assorted chores around the house. Doesn't look like we will have any free time this weekend, so I'm trying to get things all caught up!
