Know where that quote is from?

After our disappointing six-game losing streak, the Steelers (barely) won last week against the Green Bay Packers – keeping their playoff hopes alive and barely breathing.  And this week we won again!  So… we have to win next week against Miami, and then some other chips have to fall into place, in order to get to the playoffs.  But there’s a chance.

So today was a good day.  It started off well – sleeping in until exactly 10:15 when I woke up for the Steeler’s game and enjoyed my coffee.x

I didn’t get around to eating anything until lunch time, when I prepared a Hugh Jass with crab, mozzarella cheese, broccoli, edamame and egg whites.

Twas a sight to behold.

In the spirit of the day, after the game S and I did some shopping and then went out and threw the football around at the park.  I’m no Ben Roethlisberger, but I can sometimes throw a mean spiral

We stopped off at Panera Bread, where I had a fruit cup and a bag of chips.

In the afternoon, I snacked on a Clif bar.

For dinner, I made Crockpot Santa Fe Chicken from a recipe that I saw on Iowa Girl Eats’ blog.  I have a crockpot that I barely ever use, so was really excited to try a recipe in it.  I threw all the ingredients into the pot in the morning while watching the game, and by dinner time it was ready!

It was delicious.  I think that next time I make it I will add a little less chicken broth, because it was a little too liquid-y.  But the flavor was delicious, and it was really nutritious too.

I served it to S and myself with tortillas and cheddar cheese.

All wrapped up:

I ate it with some dried fruit on the side – dates and figs.

For dessert, a big chunk of rocky road fudge.

I had the last of my pumpkin cheesecakes for a snack before bed.

Even Mendy couldn’t help but smile at the end of this great day.

Actually, S took the picture while she was yawning.  But she looks like she is totally cracking up, as JB looks on in the background.  Love it!
