Bless Your Hearts

Bears fans are hooting, hollering and grinning from ear to ear. Tennessee proved to be lovely hosts, bless their hearts!

Peanut Tillman has gone from awesome to most totally awesome. How much fun is it to hear the commentators continue to talk MVP?

Urlacher called today's game a "frenzy" and "fun." Well yeah, did you see the grin on his face as he ran in his second career touchdown. With a wave of his mighty arm, he seemed to say to the approaching Titans "Get out of my way!"

To make things even better, veterans groups benefited from today's amazing 51-20 final score. In honor of Veterans Day, the NFL is donating $100 per point to each of three organizations: Pat Tillman Foundation, USO and the Wounded Warrior Project. That means the Bears/Titans game netted $21,300 for veterans. Did you notice the salute by Charles Tillman? Appropriate for the son of an Army Sergeant.

Enough blathering, let's get to today's delicious winning recipe. To make Southern Sage Chicken and Noodles, you begin with leftovers from last Sunday's Sage Roasted Chicken.

Ingredients:
2 cups diced sage roasted chicken
40 ounces chicken broth
