Weekending......Superbowl Style

Happy Monday sweetums! I hope your weekend was awesome and you had a great time relaxing or being productive, or whatever your heart desired to make it a great one. I'm linking up today with these beauties, so check them out! :)

B Loved Boston / Champagne and Suburbs

Our fun weekend consisted of the following highlights:

-- Friday night Mr. A. had to work late so I came home and started the laundry, took care of the babies, and relaxed.

-- Saturday morning Mr. A. had to be at work at 7 a.m. so naturally I was up with him, sigh... However, I was able to get a jump start on my day. So it started out that I ran to the gas station up the road because they were charging only $1.39 a gallon and I had Kroger points which brought my total down to $1.29 a gallon. Filled up my car, which was on a quarter of a tank for a total of $13.25 - can't beat that! :) Then I ran across the street to Walmart, got a few groceries, headed back home and then to the mall.  I have been in dire need of new makeup for a while now, and I wanted to get the exact match for my complexion instead of always feeling like my makeup was too dark.  However, I wanted to do some more shopping, but started feeling really bad and drained, so I went back home and laid down in bed about 12:30 or so and that's where I stayed the rest of the day/night.

-- Sunday me and Mr. A slept in until about 9 (still not feeling too good), then got up and started working around the house and running some errands.  Later that day we went across the street to our neighbors that we hang out with a lot and enjoyed some Super Bowl festivities:

This was my game and as you can see, Ms. C was contemplating her next move

 

I lost and this was the result- LOL but it was a lot of fun  

 

Of course, then there was the football - which I won $25 for having the right numbers at the right time on the game board :)

So what about you? What fun did you have this weekend? I can't wait to hear all about it! Happy Monday beautiful and thanks for stopping by! Be sure to say hello :)

Lots of love and hugs,

Superbowl Sunday Recipes

Happy Thursday dolls! We've made it over the hump of the week - woo hoo!! Since Superbowl is this Sunday, I thought I would share with you a couple of recipes that I am making for our work potluck tomorrow. They look so delicious and I can't wait to try them out! :)

The first one up is:

Cherry Cheesecake Dip 

via

Ingredients:

1 (8 oz) block of cream cheese softened
1/2 (7.5 oz) jar marshmellow fluff
1 (8 oz) tub Coolwhip, thawed
1 (14.5 oz) jar, Cherry Pie Filling
Graham Crackers for serving

Directions:
Mix together cream cheese and marshmellow fluff until smooth

Then add in Cool Whip and combine well

Spread into a 2 qt. dish or plate

Then spread on cherry pie filling

Serve with Graham Crackers

The next one up is:

Hot and Spicy Sausage Dip

Ingredients:

1 lb of Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage (hot or regular - use your favorite bulk sausage brand)
10 oz can Rotel, undrained (Original, diced tomatoes & green chilies)
8 oz cream cheese 

via

Directions:

In a large skillet, cook sausage, breaking up into small pieces (like taco meat) until fully cooked. Drain all excess fat.  Add Rotel and cream cheese, mix until well blended and heated thoroughly. Place in a serving dish, serve warm with you favorite tortilla chips or Fritos Scoops.

Tips:

For less spicy dip, use regular sausage.
This is perfect for small crock-pots, keeping it warm while serving. 

Don't these both look delicious?! And the best part is they are SUPER easy to make, which is something I always enjoy! :) So what about you? What are your Superbowl plans? What team are you rooting on this year? I'd love to hear all about it, so please feel free to share. Thanks for stopping by to say hello and please let me know you were here! :) Have an awesome Thursday beauties!

Lots of love and hugs,
