Superbowl Sunday

Sunday, February 2, 2014 was a holiday. The Superbowl obviously!!! Not only do I love watching football on TV, but I also love the commercials. My favorite this year had to be the Doberwauwau commercial oh and of course the David Beckham one as well.



However this year I was even more excited since I made lots of tasty treats that were not only delicious, but also nutritious! I will be posting the recipes in the next few weeks so no fears!

Question of the Day

Who did you want to win?

I was rooting for the Broncos but they obviously did not know how to play a decent game of football that evening. Oh well. Maybe next year the Cleveland Browns will make it! Hey a girl can dream right?
