SuperBowl Sunday

Well I'm a die hard Peyton Manning fan so as you can imagine I really don't care who wins this year.  My previous favourite team was New England so I'm going to cheer for them this time. 

New England Patriots VS Seattle Seahawks

 

Congratulations to the Patriots

 

Final score:  Patriots 28, Seahawks, 24

My Favourite Commercials

I love the Budweiser Clydesdales commercials, but throw in a adorable lost puppy and a handsome guy and I'm just gone...

Check it out below...

 

Super Bowl Sunday

Are you ready for some football?  Yep - It's that time of year again. 

 

I'm a big football fan and this year, the Denver Broncos have been my team.  I have nothing but admiration for Peyton Manning and all he's achieved.  I'm looking forward to the game this year since I think it should be a good one as both teams have had a great season.  But my heart is with the Denver Broncos.  Go Broncos.

 

Update - Denver 8 (sigh), Seattle 48

 

I went to bed - I just couldn't watch it anymore.

My favourite...

In Canada, due to Canadian content laws, we rarely get to see the much hyped Super Bowl commercials.  However, there are one or two that buy into the Canadian market as well and one of them is Budweiser.  My all time favourite commercials are the Budweiser Clydesdales.  I never tire of these commercials and could watch them over and over again.  This is one area that advertising gets it right time and again..  This year's ad for example, I mean seriously, puppies and horses, how could you go wrong?

A screen shot from this year's commercial. Check it out.

 

If you want a preview of some of the best of the commercials featuring the Clydesdales, check out this link. 

 To me this is a Super Bowl tradition I look forward to.  Keep up the good work Budweiser.

Super Bowl Time

Canadians love American football just as much as Americans do and the Super Bowl is of course the big time. 

It's a rematch between the New England Patriots vs. the New York Giants.

I'm sorry to say I really don't care who wins because I cheer for both teams.  So I'm looking forward to a good game and may the best team win. 

UPDATE:  Congratulations to the New York Giants the 2012 Super Bowl champions. 

Final Score - New England 17, New York Giants 21. 

The best Super Bowl commercials are also up for grabs.  This is big bucks and some of them are really good.  There is one problem for all Canadians.  Due to Canadian content laws, we tend to miss some of the best Super Bowl commercials which I personally find very frustrating.  So, for all Canadians who hate being a day behind.  Here is a link to some of the best for 2012.  You be the judge.  And in the spirit of Canadian content laws - check out Budweiser Commercial.

Profile Baked Bree

Every once in awhile I stumble across something so great that it becomes a classic for me.  This chicken recipe is one such recipe.  My son advised me (and I quote here) "I'll disown you mom if you don't make this dish again.  It's that good."  So on that note I made it for my father last night when he stayed and he is in full agreement with my son.  If that isn't a good enough endorsement for you, take a look at the recipe for Honey Garlic Balsamic Chicken on the Baked Bree blog.

Honey Garlic Balsamic Chicken

If you really want some great family meals, I highly recommend this site.  The name of her blog is quite catchy and invokes one of my favourite - Brie, however, in this case it stands for Bree the author and great home cook who prepares all these wonderful meals for her family of five.  Enjoy.

Also, for those looking for Super Bowl recipes (of which I am one) these are two that I fully intend to indulge in this weekend.
