Foodie Friday: Fight Night & Game Grub ~ SBXLIX Edition

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!

To top off my plate, I had my green drink to toast!

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

This post-game croissant-reminiscant breakfast: Cookie & Cocoa Butter Swirl goes nuts w/pecans & almonds ~ shaped like a ♥heart♥ for ♥Valentine’s♥ Day!

Coffee pairs well w/Cookie & Cookie & Cocoa Butter Swirl + croissant!

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!

 

Chili Chip Pie, oh my!

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!

Moral of the story?

Beauty Tuesday: Team Spirit

This past weekend, I sported colors to represent for games and Fight Night!

• I wore my letter jacket over my basketball polo that had denim to complement my jeans to root on the Coogs in my alma mater’s football game.
• I went from Church to watch UFC and boxing in my green paisley dress from Mexico and my elephant handbag from my parents’ Asia tour to wish contenders good luck!
• I repped both my Dallas Cowboys and former WR Miles Austin with my DC No. 19 dress on Game Day and Lisa‘s daughter’s birthday party ~ luckily, both teams won!
