Foodie Wrapup

Whew – what a fun, foodie Sunday we had! Boy am I stuffed to capacity too! I’m going to try to crank this post out superfast because the idea of being behind a day didn’t sound pleasant to me so I decided to spare the extra time tonight and show you my eats so I can get back on track with regular blogging tomorrow :)

We started the festivities around 4:30 we only had two other couples over so it was basically all of us decked out in Eagles jerseys and sweatpants - yes, we are all aware the Eagles were not playing, but we were still showing our spirit LOL.

We had a variety of fingerfoods that included:

  • Salsa & Tostitos
  • Pretzels & Honey Mustard
  • Veggies & Ranch Dip
  • Spinach Dip

For our main course, we had hoagies that I picked up from a deli by my parents’ house and a TON of boneless wings that our friends brought over. The flavors ranged from garlic, buffalo, honey bbq, terriyaki, etc… you get the idea!

I had a turkey hoagie with no cheese and tons of hot peppers & spicy mustard – it was delish! I wish they made whole wheat rolls, but oh well…

I definitely had my share of wings & dips but didn’t feel like photographing each one so I hope you understand :)

For dessert, I baked super chocolate & peanut butter brownies. I used a plain brownie mix and added some chopped up dark chocolate Hershey Kisses & chunky peanut butter to the batter. I baked them according to the package, topped them with vanilla icing and chocolate wafers. They were delish. I had two small ones and could have kept eating them!

What did you guys think about how the Superbowl ended? Although we were rooting for the Steelers, we really weren’t cheering like we would if the Eagles were in the game!  We played some block pools so that kept the game interesting, but sadly Bill and I didn’t win any of them!  One of our friends saw my P90X tapes so that led to an interesting conversation all about the program, seems everyone is a fan!

We are exhausted now so we’re going to try to clean up and make it through the Office. Tomorrow’s going to be a rough morning!

Hope you had a fun night :) Woo Hoo Steelers :)

Well, as you must all know, we are very happy here in Philadelphia today!

Our Eagles killed the Giants :)

Bill already called that it’s going to be a two championship year for us (1st championship being the Phillies), but we’ll see.  We’ve been here before in 2004 and it didn’t go so well, so I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but you never know!  It was a tense game in the beginning, but the second half, we knew that we had clinched it… but let’s back track to this morning…

We had a pumpkiny breakfast before church today ~ totally hit the spot.

My bowl included 1/2 cup of oats mixed with 3 tbsp of egg whites and about a 1/4 cup pumpkin.  My toppings included 1 tbsp ground flax, 2 tbsp Bear Naked Fruit ‘n Nut granola, and a spoonful of Mighty Maple… Mmmmmmm!  Isn’t it a beauty ;)

After church, Bill’s parents, brother, and his friend came over to watch the Eagles – Giants playoff game.  And yes, we even wore our jerseys to church today!

We ordered square upside down (cheese on bottom) pizza so I had a slice topped with red pepper flakes alongside of some wings that Bill’s parents brought over.  I also munched on some carrots & celery with a tad bit of blue cheese dressing.

I also made a salad that included a wide variety of veggies & protein:

  • spring mix
  • broccoli
  • corn
  • mixed nuts
  • carrots
  • cherry tomatoes

And a small glass of Diet Coke ~ I don’t know what came over me!

After Bill’s fam left, Bill and I cleaned up, got ourselves ready for the work week ahead of us,  and put my pj’s on.  I packed our lunches, prepped some food for our dinner meals, and packed my gym bag for tomorrow.  Pretty productive in a few hours!

While we watched the end of the Pittsburgh game, I was trying to figure out what to eat!  I knew I didn’t want anything huge for dinner, but couldn’t decide what I was in the mood for… and then it hit me… Chobani!

I made a huge bowl of Vanilla Chobani, Heart to Heart, Pecans, Raisins, and Almonds.

I am not sure if this will fill me up so I may be getting a snack later, if so I will post it tomorrow!

Now I’m off to finish up and get ready for the 2-hour premiere of 24.  I got hooked on 24 right when I first starting dating 24 since Bill was a fan and I have watched ever since, so it’s weird actually watching it with Bill tonight since usually we always had to watch it separate and then call each other afterwards (since we obviously didn’t live together until now).  It’s a great show, but I must admit the sneak preview that was played a few weeks ago was more violent than it normally is, I think it bothered me that there were little kids involved.  I’m hoping it is a great show tonight and that Jack Bauer kicks some butt :)
