The spa-like master bath is a close second, especially when relax-

Did you decorate the entire house at one time, or over the
years? The main rooms were decorated at one time, but the kid’s
rooms have evolved over time. We did design the outdoor fireplace
and outdoor kitchen. We rounded the hearth of the fireplace to
make it easier to see and converse with several people seated on
it. We also rounded the grill and countertops to make them more
functional. They are both situated to allow visibility from inside or
out. Entertaining is quite fun and special with this setup.
If you could do it all over again, would you change anything?
We have been more than blessed by the offerings of this home

Is there a story behind his name? When we found him, he
did not have a name. Brian and the kids choose “Ranger” since he
is a ranging dog, a protector – like a Texas Ranger.
Does he have any special talents or quirks? He gets along
with our chickens. We have only had him a short time, so we are
still learning about him. He is very friendly and great with the kids.
What do you like best about Ranger? His friendly and
exploratory nature.
Any funny stories? We do not have a lot of stories yet. But he
loves to run with the kids and play chase.
How spoiled is he? Ranger was seized as an abused dog along
with many other animals. He was very thin at 67 pounds. He
should weigh about 100. We have been spoiling him a bit with
good food and he is gained 6 pounds so far.

foods we love for the big game, without the
junk food hangover. Dips: Super Bowl party dips are, yes, scrumptious but
often laden with fatty meats and dairy. As an alternative,
make up a big batch of pico de gallo, hummus, and / or guaca-
mole to go with your favorite healthy dippers (tortilla chips,
pita, pretzels, cut-up veggies). If your heart’s set on a warm
dip, try subbing out the sour cream or mayo in your recipes
for lighter options (low-fat Greek yogurt, coconut milk, low-fat
cream cheese).
Wings: Wings are generally deep-fried, made up of mostly
fat and skin, and chock full of cholesterol and sodium. But
they don’t have to be junk food! Instead of frying, roast, grill,
or bake them, and certainly skip the blue cheese dip, which is
incredibly calorie-laden. If meat isn’t your jam, you can capture
that bold, buffalo flavor without it by serving buffalo cauliflower
bites, which are every bit as tasty and much lighter in carbs
and calories.
Pizza: It’s hardly Super Bowl Sunday without pizza, when, ac-
cording to Domino’s, over 2 million pizzas are delivered to sports
fans across the country. This year, skip the delivery and make
your own healthier slices. Choose a thin, cauliflower, or whole-
wheat crust to cut down on calories and carbs, and pile on the
veggies and red sauce for added vitamins, fiber, and minerals.
Cheese will add calcium and protein to your pie, but be mindful of
how much and what kind you use.
Happy game-watching and happy eating, football fans!
