Superbowl weekend!!

What a great weekend we had here in Washington State!  The sun was out and we went to Alki beach to enjoy the view, got some coffee, and ate fish & chips!  Seattle is such a pretty city; I’m grateful to be living here.  Hubs and I are not into football (but we do watch NBA games), however, we watched the game tonight and I did enjoy the halftime show and some commercials.  I prepared chicken wings while hubby made spinach and guacamole dips and dessert (chocolate mousse).

Deviled Eggs

This is an appetizer that my Hubby prepared a couple of weeks ago.  The  recipe is from Emeril Lagasse ( from foodnetwork website.) He said it was easy and doesn’t need help in making this dish. This is really tasty and addictive:)
