It was a great weekend in TEXAS! My Red Raiders won, the Cowboys won (barely, but we'll take it!) and it sprinkled on Friday, rained on Saturday and finally stormed last night! Praise the Lord! It has been a long time since we've seen rain - I don't think I've ever loved the sound of thunder or flash of lightning as much as I did last night. And, I'm loving the cooler temperatures - it's beginning to feel like Fall!
Jack and Uncle Scott were two very happy Cowboy fans!
The rain didn't keep Jack from tailgating! He brought his chair in from the garage and was good to go. Sometimes he really likes the camera and we'll get the biggest "cheesy" smiles out of him. He'll even say "CHEEEESE" over and over. He's too funny!
This is his "CHEEEEESE" face! :)
Friday night we were watching "Man vs Food" and the guy was eating somewhere that had bacon wrapped tator tots, so we just had to try them. Let me tell you, there is absolutely nothing healthy about them, but they were GOOD. So good in fact, that we had them Saturday night and again Sunday night.
BACON-WRAPPED TATOR TOTS
Ore Ida Frozen Tots
Thick cut bacon, cut in thirds
Fresh or pickled jalapenos (we did both and prefer the fresh)
Shredded cheddar cheese
Sour Cream and Wing Sauce or Ranch for dipping
Toothpicks and a fryer
Let tots partially thaw, so you can get the toothpick through them.
Wrap tot and jalapeno in bacon, secure with toothpick.
Fry in deep fryer about 3-4 minutes or until bacon is cooked.
Top with shredded cheese and serve with Ranch or Sour Cream and Wing Sauce.
The phone picture does not do these little treats justice, so you'll just have to take my word for it that they are AWESOME and try them for yourself!
Relaxing with Daddy after a fun Sunday filled with football, rain, good friends and good food!
Have a great week!
