It's the big day.....
Bear fans and Packer fans are calling it their own personal Super Bowl.
The hype has been tremendous and now it's time to find out who is going to Dallas.
We are a split household. My in-laws live in Green Bay and are employed by Green Bay Packaging.
You don't bleed much greener than that....
So, my son and husband have their hearts in the Packer endzone...
Having lived most of my life in Illinois, it's the Bears all the way...
By dinnertime, it will be a relief to have it all decided.
We are headed next door to watch the game with our neighbors.
Gotta make some serious game eats...
I started the day with Banana Walnut Muffins...
Kate helped stir and toss flour into the three adjacent counties.
Notice the lovely day old face paint on her. Baths are overrated....
The Joy of Cooking never disappoints and these turned out great.....
although I would suggest following the recipe, such as adding the 6 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil.
I got distracted by a small child and forgot it.
Oh well... Recipe below....
No serious game day is complete without some good wings.
I haven't decided which one to make, but here is where I will be perusing....
Trader Joes has some fantastic freezer appetizer items.
They are tasty and look pretty.
I'll be firing up the Mini Beef Tacos and the Parmesan Pastry Pups.
Throw in some pre-made guacamole with a fresh avocado tossed in for some chunk,
a few crudites and we are set for game time!
Go Bears!!
