Is there anything better?
I don't think so!
The boys and I wrapped up 2017 with a trip to Houston to see the Rockets play the Lakers. It was an AWESOME game. Double overtime. Down to the wire. By the end of the game I was so invested, that I have claimed the Rockets as my new favorite basketball team. I do that a lot.
Why is basketball so much fun to watch in person, but torture to watch on TV? I can't explain it, but it is true. I would much rather watch an NBA game live than any other sport I can think of. Football is much better watched on TV, especially when watching Alabama football.
How about the Tide? Beating Clemson with some purpose. I was prepared for Clemson to beat us soundly. I was wrong. And, that touchdown by the big lineman just made my night. Alabama pulled out a couple of new plays and I was happy to see them. Next Monday will be a nail-biter for sure, but I am a big fan of Kirby Smart and his Georgia Bulldogs, so may the best team win!
I have been concentrating on making healthy, beautiful food around here and it has been fun! I love to cook, but too often I just make a piece of toast or grab a handful of crackers instead of being mindful about what I am eating. Not only is it terrible for you, I often times can't even remember what or if I have eaten. Taking time to make it look pretty, makes me feel like I am making myself a priority and it also means I am reaching for colorful vegetables to jazz it up and that is always a bonus.
Probably too many calories with all the toppings, but baby steps! More vegetables and pretty plates and glasses are a good start!
Also, if you have the best friends in the world they always share some of their New Year's bounty! Karen cooked black eyed peas, cabbage casserole and cornbread and Beth delivered it to me for good luck and prosperity in the new year! It was delicious! No picture of my pretty plate, because I scarfed it down!
I also tried my hand at homemade pizza crust yesterday for the boys! It was easy and yummy! I will be adding this recipe to my regular rotation and try to get more creative with the toppings to maybe slide in a vegetable or two!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
P.S. Mom and Dad...do not be alarmed by the background change on the blog! Just felt like a winter theme was appropriate with these cold temps! I will hopefully be changing it to something fresh and green and lovely when Spring gets here!
