Snow Days

Image found here

We woke up yesterday morning to a snow day.  Yea!! So this is what we did  with some of our day. Worked on my scarf so maybe I can wear it before winter is over.  I am making it big and bulky.  It will be perfect for those freezing cold days I walk to work.  Remember I walk everyday to work.  This is what I have so far. 

I have put together my binder for my study of James with the Good Morning Girls Club.  I am so excited about getting started next week. 

I made some cinnamon bread and regular white bread with the help of my new Kitchen Aid Mixer.  Man, I love that thing.  I can not believe how much easier it seems to make things for me.  This is my first attempt at bread that was not made in a bread machine.  Not to bad looken. Oh it tastes so good. 

Courtney and her best friend strung some popcorn for the birds and squirrels.  We thought they would enjoy the treat. 

                              Our cat thought he needed his share.

Then they went outside for at least a couple of hours.  I took pictures of some kind of snow sculptor they made.  They were not sure what it was either.  I don't think they were to happy when our dog thought it was something that looked good to hike his leg on.  We just laughed and laughed though.

For dinner I made a wonderful Cheesy Enchilada Soup by Paula Deen.  There is nothing better on a cold, snowy day than soup and homemade bread.  Yum, Yum.

 

Other than doing a little vacuuming.  We took the day and just enjoyed it.  These days are such a blessing when we get them.  What would have made it absolutely perfect is my husband and  two college kids being home.  And today we have another snow day!!!  Two days what a double blessing. :)

Hope you enjoy your Tuesday.

I Won

I actually won something.  I was so excited to find out I won some cookies.  I entered a giveaway here at The Homespun Heart. It is just one of my favorite blogs. She is just so inspirational.  Any way baking is just one of the things I love to do for my family.  I just thought the packaging was so cute and I knew the cookies had to be wonderful.  I was right.  I made the Double Dutch Chocolate last night. They were gone in no time.  I thought I had just won one roll of cookies but they sent me 3.  How generous is that.  You need to check out their cute website here at the Ice Box Bakery.  What a fun gift for a college student who needs little touches of home once in a while. They can take them out of the freezer and bake when ever they have the time.  Or for those days you want a treat but just do not have the time to bake from scratch.  I run into that a lot during the busy school year.  Thanks so much The Homespun Heart and Ice Box Bakery.  I so enjoy these types of little blessings.

muffins

I finally made the muffins I was dying to make. I made blueberry, peaches and cream and chocolate zucchini.  My husband really liked the blueberry but I thought they turned out a little dry  The peaches and cream not so great.  I won't be making those again.  The chocolate zucchini muffins my youngest daughter and I loved.  I found the recipe on Lynns Kitchen Adventures here.  So I guess if any one has a great moist basic blueberry muffin recipe I would love to try it.
