Ugh, I ate so much today! 
All of it was delicious food, but now I am stuffed!
Around 1:00 this afternoon, Mal got to work in the kitchen making his Chili for a Crowd.
The Real Simple recipe is so easy to make!
While Mal cooked, I drank beers and entertained our guests. 
Before the main course, there were so many appetizers to choose from. I chowed down!
The pizza dip that my sister made was amazing! I loved the baked cheese on top!
More snacks!
Murphy played hard at the dog park this morning, so he napped during the first part of the football game.
At one point, he ended up like this in my sister’s fiancé’s lap:
I’m not sure how comfortable he was, but eventually, Murphy woke up and watched the game with us.
The Red Sox were on TV this afternoon too. So, of course, we needed two TVs to watch both sports games.
To go with Mal’s chili, I baked some corn bread.
I filled up on appetizers, so I only ate a small portion of chili, but it was SO GOOD! 
It’s not even 8:00, but I’m exhausted from the day. Too much food and beer! I’m in a carb coma!
Enjoy the evening, bloggies!

The chili and cornbread looks delish! I’m feeling that this week because it is supposed to be 48 degrees in Pittsburgh!
Pizza dip?! Do share!!
Food coma’s are best on Holiday weekends. And the cornbread sounds like a perfect paring!
The next time I make chili, I am definitely going to try this recipe. Hearty food hits the spot during cooler autumn weather.
It was a good game, huge out here in Denver, as you can imagine….
Food looks super tasty. Murphy of course gets cuter everytime you share pics with your readers.
Did you get a new camera??…these pix look exceptionally FANTASTIC (as does that solo pic of you)! I think I am also now obsessed with the idea of “pizza dip.” It sounds, and looks, phenom!!! What a great way to end the week.
That pizza dip looks amazing . I need to try making chili. As long as it is easy , I’m in !
Does Mal put beer in his chili? Care to share the recipe?
I’ve never heard of pizza dip — it looks too good!

Oh man, pizza dip, that is the smartest thing I have ever thought of!
mm chili + cornbread is one of the best fall food combos!
what is in pizza dip?
A friend of mine made pizza dip for my bachelorette party last year. It was the first I’d ever heard of it! I may have to make that sometime this fall for when my husband has his friends over for a Wii party!
I’d have to make a single serving for me otherwise I’d go crazy on it!! 
Pizza dip sounds awesome! I helped myself to quite a lot of buffalo chicken dip yesterday. It has been a food filled weekend, but I keep reminding myself marathon training starts soon!
Pizza dip looks so good on a chilly fall day, could you please share the recipe

Murphy can sleep anywhere! I’m like that myself
Sounds like you guys got into the true Boston sports scene spirit. I like the two TVs.
Murphy looks like quite the cheerleader! Love the two TVs and the food looks awesome!
Love to see a husband in the kitchen, and Murphy looked SO adorable and sleepy. Lovely family, and the chili looked awesome!
That looks so good! Yummy chili, and that pizza dip looks phenomenal.
I second (or third, fourth…I lost count) the request for the pizza dip. It sounds delicious. Please and thank you!
Glad you had fun.
Murphy’s so cute!
That may be the best picture ever of Murphy! Although he is so photogenic, he has a lot of winners!
Looks like a great day of friends and fun…and food!
Murphy is too cute!
Pizza dip sounds fantastic and the chili looks awesome!
Looks like great football-watching food! Too bad for the outcome….
Awww sad day to be a New England fan but at least the food and company was good.
I love the goofy positions dogs get into while sleeping. I never understand how they are comfortable but they sure sleep well.
Aww, I love doggie naps. My dog sleeps during EVERYTHING and she usually ends up in weird positions too. Dogs are so funny
I’ve been thinking about your chili recipe since LAST year, so I think this is a sign to go ahead and make it.
By your recipe, I mean Mal’s of course.
I would love the pizza dip recipe! My hubby has gotten addicted to the buffalo chicken dip…good stuff!
