Weekend Recap

Hope you had a great weekend.

Mine did not consist of watching the Superbowl this year, since it started at about midnight. (But I was able to catch a recap of the commercials.) To be honest, football is so not my sport. Talk to me again when it's baseball season. #gogiants

Instead we spent our weekend watching two fantastic movies... my husband has officially turned me into a movie person!

Both of these movies were amazing! Tom Hanks can do no wrong. He was fantastic in this movie. And 12 Years a Slave... so hard to watch, but one of the best movies I have seen in awhile. No wonder it won Best Picture this year at the Golden Globes. And watching these makes me even more excited for the Oscars this year.

I also made these delicious brownies:
Healthified Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

Their website is filled with deliciously easy recipes and much better pictures!

I would love to say we have some leftover... but they were too good. Make these immediately!

    Sounds like a great weekend!! I make it a goal to see every Oscar Best Picture Nominee each year. I am SO behind this year, but I'm definitely going to be sure and watch 12 Years a Slave before the big night. I've heard that it's completely amazing. I'll need to see Captain Phillips too -- if Tom Hanks is in it, it's going to be good! :)

    Happy Monday!

    Captail Phillipps was SO amazing. We need to see 12 Years a Slave next for sure. You didn't miss much Super Bowl-wise as I'm sure you know ha. The brownies trump football any day in my book!

    I finally watched Captain Phillips last weekend after reading the book months ago. So good but read the book, so much better! You get his wife's perspective too :)
