We started off this past weekend on a great note, we went to our favorite movie place The Alamo Drafthouse and saw 13 Hours. Matt and I love a good action/war movie and this one did not disappoint. This movie is full of heart, action, suspense, blood and it's a true story. This is one of those movies that makes you think about "What would I have done or could I do that"? My recommendation... Go see this!
Saturday we had a relaxing day I am currently re-watching Seasons 1 and 2 of Black Sails to get ready for the season 3 premier on Saturday! I cooked us a nice dinner and we rented Burnt with Bradley Cooper, a favorite movie of mine!
Sunday oh Sunday!!!! Matt scored us last minute Broncos Playoff tickets and we had the BEST time!
All snobbery aside, I have never sat higher than the lower level for anything.... no concert or sporting event ever, so this was a new experience but when ticket prices are in the thousands you take what you can get. And honestly they were still great seats! We were Upper Deckers for sure!
What was neat is that we could see past the stadium and see the sun set over the mountains in the background and that was a stunning site to see..... although that meant the temperatures were falling fast! It was a blustery cold day for sure!
Hence my get up.....But I will say this last year we went in early October and I literally got a heat rash thru my jeans.... I would take another freezing cold game over that any day!
Before the game we got invited to this corporate tail gate that had a band, full bars, hot chocolate, TVS and it was fully catered by Elway's steakhouse among others and that was fun! When we arrived they handed out hand warmers and the clear plastic NFL approved bags to everyone to take to the game! It sure was fun pretending we were high rollers!
You know what.... I had the BEST time with Matt at the game, it was overall a wonderful weekend! I hope your was just as good!
I thought I would share with you all my Super Bowl Menu for this Sunday if you need any last minute inspiration!!! I am leaning in a more Mexican theme with this menu and it's hard not to for Game Days!
How exciting is it that Fall officially starts on Monday?? Now if only the weather would get that memo we would be in good shape! Denver is in the 90s today and thanks but no thanks! Anyhoo....
I have a super yummy Fall recipe to share with you all today and I found this one in Food and Wine Magazine!
Fall Apple Cheddar Pretzel Dogs!
Need:
Pretzel Buns
2 Apples, butter, cinnamon and brown sugar
Cheddar
Hot dogs or brats (I used Bison dogs from Whole Foods)
Grill your dogs...Matt was at work so I used my grill pan which worked awesome!
Then build your dog......Pretzel buns, meat then top with cheese! Pop these babies under the broiler until your cheese is melted........
I think using a Smoked Cheddar or Gouda would also be amazing on this!
Then add your apples and you are done! This dish is amazing, very weird but it worked perfectly! Perfect for a Fall day or a gourmet twist on Tailgating food!!!!!!
Sorry my pictures were not better....but last minute I knew I wanted to share this recipe so I was in a rush!
This past Saturday Nov 1... Me, Matt, Jeff & Micki went to the OU vs Neb blow out I should say! The experience was very fun and a perfect way to end Matt's Birthday week! The weather was perfect and the crowd was just loud enough to make this night a great one. We wound up leaving at half time so we could go home and watch a more exciting game the Texas/Tech game! On our way home we treated Jeff & Micki to Gelato at Il Dolche in Norman! SOOo yummy! I had a combo of Pumpkin Pie & Dolche de Leche! That place is amazing you guys must check it out!
SO thanks to Jeff & Micki for taking us to Norman to see the game!
