1st Game of the Season Baby (Sneak Peak)

Ladies and gentlemen the time has come for Collegeeeeeeeeeee Footballlllllll!!! Let the tailgating commence and the good times begin. I can't wait to get to good ole Statesboro, GA. The home of the Georgia Southern Eagles and "Whose House??"...""Our House"!! To give you just a little sneak peak into the weekend ahead I've decided to share an awesome tailgating recipe with you for HASH BROWN CASSEROLE. No it's not a skinny recipe but, oh dear Lord almighty from whom all blessings flow, it is better than Luke Bryan in sparkly skinny jeans!! But first lookie, lookie at my outfit...

Hash Brown Casserole

Ingredients:
-2 pounds frozen hash browns
-1/2 cup butter
-1 can cream of chicken
-1 pint sour cream
-1/2 cup chopped onion
-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
-1 teaspoon salt
-1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all above ingredients in a bowl. Spray 11x14 casserole dish and pour in mixture. Bake for 45-50 minutes. These are my kind of instructions! 

I'm so proud of my Eagle cookies. My little sister Taddies found the recipe and helped me make them. They turned out too cute!! 

I am so excited about seeing all of my besties and making memories. We always have a blast together but as always I'm going to be honest with you guys. This time last year I was 11 pounds lighter and have felt a little bummed about it this week. BUT I could have been 36 pounds heavier and I am so proud of myself for getting my act together. I hope that by the end of football season I can be down another 25 pounds. I am making the CHOICE to have fun and know that I WILL get there!! Better go get dressed. We are leaving for the 1st Game of the season in less than 1 hour...yeeeeek!!!

See all you pretty girls soon!! 

We will all be thinking about you today
JP. Miss you and love you so very much!!
