December Photo Challenge

I got this from a fellow blogger here is the link to her page A Content Housewife.

I have nothing better to do with my month so I decided I might as well take some photos.  
I hope you enjoy them!

Football Parties!

Now that I live in Texas I rarely actually get to see my Bears play because the local channels only show Cowboys or the occasional Texans game.  SO today my Bears played the Houston Texas so I actually got to see the game!! Not only that I had the day off so I hosted a football game party.  I won't lie I was very outnumbered when it came to Bears fans vs Texans fans but we still had a good time and I at least was a good sport when my team lost.  Even my boss came to watch the game, although he did make fun of me and my hatred of running plays. I do understand the need for them in the overall course of game play but I hate to watch them from a birds eye view because it makes no sense to me to try and run through a wall of 5+ guys up the middle every time. He just laughed at me and said "that's why women shouldn't get into football"

Now I understand that he most likely, okay so totally 100%, has a better overall grasp of the game given that he played in high school, college and the NFL and I did none of that but I still think that it is perfectly fine for women to be into football, and yes running plays are necessary for yards gained but they look stupid for the stands!  Okay end of my rant. Now onto the second best part of a football party (best being the game) the FOOD!

  

The Spread!

I made a delicious BBQ / Ranch chicken dip that I will have to share the recipe for because it came out way better than I expected and got devoured.  I had chicken enchiladas with green chili sauce and mini ham and cheese sliders.  My cousin made this awesome veggie n cream dip that was delicious ( I am going to have to steal the recipe)

The ham and cheese sliders were the biggest hit and the only thing that had no left overs.  But I think that is because my boss ate at least have of them himself.  LOL

The chicken enchiladas were also delicious and I was really glad there were left overs because that way I got to eat more of them ;) I specifically did not put the sauce on top of them to serve them, so that way they didn't get all soggy and could be stored for a later meal/snack.

The BBQ/Ranch Chicken Dip was also a hit, although we did have to re-heat it at half time.  It was much easier to scoop when warm.

I hope you all are enjoying your football season as much as I am.  I can't wait to see the Bears vs Packers game at Soldier Field coming up here in a few weeks!  Best Christmas gift EVER!
