With last weekend being full of festivities, we were in great food and company! My LMT girl Lisa and her hubby hosted Fight Night (UFC main event: Anderson Silva post-2013 leg injury) on Super Bowl Sunday Eve! Then I watched the Big Game with my Papa Jun!
The commonalities between both meals were:
- pizza (Little Caesar’s & Pizza Hut)
- dip (Ranch & Nutella)
- oodles of noodles (post-fight & pre-game)
- veggies (fresh & roasted)

Fight Night Feast: {clockwise from top L} Little Caesar’s Pretzel Pizza from yours truly * fruit w/chocolate fondue made by yours truly (Nutella & Philadelphia Cream Cheese) * veggies w/Ranch dressing * slider sandwiches w/Dijon mustard, turkey & cheese (either Swiss or Munster)

Portion control: Lisa sliced the pizza into smaller pieces, so more could be up for grabs!

These slider sandwiches were a hit! Hands down: they scored a touchdown @ this table!

Fun fact: Did you know that you burn more calories than you consume when you munch on celery due to the crunch? Challenge accepted!

After the fruit was gone, a fellow cat mama & I turned to the carrots to dip into the chocolate!

Post-Fight: Rice Noodles w/meatballs ~ looks like this yummy bowl is Lisa‘s version of Pho!

Pre-Game: My Ramen w/Salsa + P.I. Cheese on Toast

Yes’sir, I AM the Ranch B*tch: from my salad to pizza (Supreme from the Hut)

Almond Joy Pie: filled w/Nutella but bittersweet due to the Seahawks’ SB loss

My Nanay satisfied my chili craving with this Super Bowl Southwestern-Style Chili Bowl! Maraming Salamat Po, Mommy Aya! Ma sarap!

Add cheese to the mix!

Dallop of Daisy: Add sour cream to the mix!

Add avocado to the mix!

Spoon ready to scoop ~ so ladle it on to lick!

Let’s double-dip those chips!

My mom went happy on kale, both in the chili & in these chips baked in EVOO + in this green drink complete con más avocado!

Again, Context Media Health has been on point, as if it’s been reading my mind ~ this time, about Black Beans & Avocados!

Motivate with a Moving Mate! 🏆
Dig the alliteration and the rhyme? These are methods that I’ve been teaching my speech students and always applying on the daily! 🎤
Lately, I’ve had a blast with my fave baller from high school, with whom I reunited this past Homecoming weekend! 🏈

We’ve hit the court for sports of all sorts! 🏀

We’ve ran in the indoor and the outdoor track to prevent slack! 👟

We also did bowl because that’s how we roll! 🎳

And we even shot pool since we’re always cool! 🎱

Oh yeah, and how could I forget our abs so we still stay fabs? 💪

Thanks, USMC and U.S. Army Sgt. Kyle, for always taking time to go the extra mile and make me smile! 😍

Bowl, Guzzi's, Moving, Pizza, Super, XLV

Super Bowl XLV = Moving Wkend #2. This time, my parents flew down to help me out big time. I picked us up Bacon Cheeseburger & Pepperoni Super Bowl Special Pizzas + Spaghetti & Wings from Guzzi’s Pizza – which, in my opinion, provides the best service & flavor (1 major reason why I’ll miss Sharyland). We also picked up Silver Fox/Bullet (my 2000 Volvo S70) – who’s been undergoing considerable maintenance this past yr, this time on replacing her timing belt. During the game, I couldn’t fully tune in while I had to pack but either way, I went for the yellow team: black & yellow for the Pittsburgh Steelers + green & yellow for the Green Bay Packers – who are now the NFL Champs! Afterwards, my parents & I drove to my new home, where I spent my 1st night there; it’s almost official…
