Super Bowl Food

Because let's be honest...it's all about the food and the commercials. Am I right?

Here are some of my favorite, crowd-pleasing recipes and a few that I've been wanting to try. Maybe they'll make their way to our Super Bowl party on Sunday.

This looks so good!

Chocolate Pudding Pie



























The first time I had this pie was on Christmas Eve with my hubby's family, many years ago. Maybe even one of our first Christmases as a married couple. I will be forever grateful to them for introducing me to it. It is super yummy!

Welcome 2014!

A new year is here. School is back in. And we're getting back into the groove of things.

2013 was a great year...new house, new job for the hubs, a few short getaways and lots weddings and memories.

As I was looking through photos of the last year, I was just struck by how fast a year passes and how big our kiddos get.

Here is a short photo recap:



Their looks have changed so much.

Our baby is not looking much like a baby anymore.

Our kindergartener is almost finished being kindergartener.

And the boy's head is reaching above my shoulders.

NOT cool!! I want them to stay little. Is that too much to ask?

Happy New Year!
