Super Bowl (It's All About the Food).

...says the pregnant lady. Anyone who knows me, knows I love a good any excuse to have a party. When I'm pregnant, I love any excuse to have good food. Clayton decided he wanted to have some friends over to watch the Super Bowl. At first I was a little hesitant because I have been SO insanely tired and I've just felt like a walking zombie lately. And if we are being honest, my house was (is) a total disaster. But then I got to thinking about it, and I figured the Super Bowl probably called for some good food. I asked everyone to bring an appetizer and scoured my appetizer pin board (what did we do before Pinterest?) to find something delicious.

I'm a fan of all things cheesy and queso-ish, so I decided on White Rotel Dip from Deep South Dish. I am ALWAYS up for a recipe that includes cream cheese. Two blocks of it? Yes, please. It calls for Monterey Jack cheese, but I used a cheddar/MJ blend because I think everything deserves a little cheddar cheese. Talk about DELISH. I will most definitely be making this one again.

I wanted something sweet too, and I've had a mild obsession with this cookie dough dip from Add a Pinch since I made as a quick party contribution on a trip to Fort Worth to visit Clayton's brother. When I was going on and on about it yesterday, Clayton said, "I'll be honest, it's not my favorite thing." To that I say, more for me! (disclaimer: he is not a huge sweets person. Or at least he wasn't. Until he met me. Oops.)  Don't listen to him. It's amazing. I've had it with graham crackers (honey and chocolate), vanilla wafers, apples...you really can't go wrong. Don't judge. I'm pregnant, remember?

Here are the recipes for both dishes if you want to try them for yourself! (hint: you can click on this picture and print it if you want!)

Here is my appetizer pin board for anyone who is interested. I've tried most of these, and the fact that they are still on the board means they were amazing! I make it a point to delete anything I try that isn't good because I will never remember whether or not I actually tried it, and that would just be unfortunate all over again.


And last but not least, here is an adorable picture of Knox enjoying the Super Bowl. He is currently obsessed with his infant car seat and the fact that it is HIS and NOT baby brother's. He does tell me almost daily that he will share his choo choo trains with "baby Gabin," so I guess even if Gavin doesn't have a car seat to be safely strapped into, he will have toys to play with. So there's that.

HAPPY MONDAY, FRIENDS!
