Oh...the holidays. So much fun but so much food! I don't know about you but I'm already feeling like I've eaten and imbibed a bit too much and we still have weeks to go. Can I start my New Years resolutions early this year? Hit the gym...eat salads more often...put down the craft beer? I love holiday food, all of it really. Cookies, hot spiked cider, roast meats, cheese. It's all so good, but leaves me feeling bloated and my pants a bit ill fitting. Thank goodness for oversized sweaters and leggings to hide my holiday indulgences!

Ryan and I are what you would call "fair-weather fans". Not really into any sports at all, when our friends in Michigan were all watching the Michigan/Michigan State college football game yesterday, I honestly didn't even know it was going on until I logged into Facebook! Instead of watching football, we spent the day in Portland at the World Beard and Mustache Championships. It was awesome. I learned so much about mustaches and beards! Although we don't care for sports much, I do love a good game day party. It doesn't really matter to me what sport is television or what team we're cheering for, if I get to eat good party food, drink a couple of microbrews, and spend time with friends then I'm in. And it's a great excuse to make a double batch of my favorite guacamole recipe.
