My Favorite Super Bowl Commercial

USA via here

There were a lot of dogs, babies, and almost naked women in yesterday's gaggle of Super Bowl commercials. But my favorite to date was the "Halftime in America" commercial by Chrysler. It made my eyes tear up, which happened several times last night. It had a great message, and was a good "pump up" for the good ole USA. What did you think? Here's the transcript if you missed it...

It’s halftime. Both teams are in their locker room discussing what they can do to win this game in the second half.

It’s halftime in America, too. People are out of work and they’re hurting. And they’re all wondering what they’re going to do to make a comeback. And we’re all scared, because this isn’t a game.

The people of Detroit know a little something about this. They almost lost everything. But we all pulled together, now Motor City is fighting again.

I’ve seen a lot of tough eras, a lot of downturns in my life. And, times when we didn’t understand each other. It seems like we’ve lost our heart at times. When the fog of division, discord, and blame made it hard to see what lies ahead.

But after those trials, we all rallied around what was right, and acted as one. Because that’s what we do. We find a way through tough times, and if we can’t find a way, then we’ll make one.

All that matters now is what’s ahead. How do we come from behind? How do we come together? And, how do we win?

Detroit’s showing us it can be done. And, what’s true about them is true about all of us.

This country can’t be knocked out with one punch. We get right back up again and when we do the world is going to hear the roar of our engines. Yeah, it’s halftime America. And, our second half is about to begin.

Super Bowl Sunday

While Mr. SE and I are neither Patriots or Giants fans, we're excited for the Super Bowl nonetheless. The commercials, the half time show, the delicious snacks are enough to get me going. Not to mention, I'm super excited about the premier of Smash (anybody else?)! It looks like Center Stage meets Glee meets Chicago-- and that sounds good to me!

Here's what I'm making for the big game--- Stuffed Pepper Soup from Skinny Taste. Lots of you already frequent Gina's site, but if you haven't before, definitely head over! Her recipes are healthy, but also incredibly delicious. You won't be disappointed!

What are your plans for the big game? Any go-to recipes that you're dying to share? Let us know!


**Update-- I just realized Smash isn't on until tomorrow. Bummer**
