We discovered this dip for the Super Bowl last year and it's quickly become a football tailgate/party staple.

 Ingredients: 

- 8 ounce packaged cream cheese (let soften for 20 minutes prior)

- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees 

- in a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, refried beans & sour cream

The Fun:

We were all in sweats/pajamas and ready to really enjoy the game in a comfortable style, SO there aren't too many photos of us enjoying the game, food and night.  

Wing Prep 

 The boys put a treat on each the Broncos logo and the Seahawks logo to let Nash pick the winner

 He ran right to the Broncos logo with no hesitation -- we for sure thought they were going to be the winners.  I guess we won't leave any big decisions up to Nash anytime soon.

 Dip prep

 We got good wings and hot dogs from Omaha Steaks so of course Nash got a special bag of treats from there too

 Enjoying the hot dog bar

Wedding is always on my mind.
