What We're Doing on Our Snow Day!

There is something great about getting a snow day!  I'm as bad as the kids when it comes to sitting in front of the T.V. watching the school closing scroll across!  The thrill and excitement when you know you're out!  Of course, we knew early this morning that we'd all have a day at home . . .bummer, if only we could have slept in too!

So!  What do you think the kids have been doing?  Taking this day to log some reading minutes or get some extra studying for the big history test?  One would think our little cherubs would be glued to their books  . . .
A little Wii competition! 


And since it's too cold to go outside -- they've improvised!  Jackson's remote control car that he got for Christmas is whiz-bang!  It goes over all terrain!  Snow, ice, water, and dirt! 

MadisonGrace controlled the car
from inside . . .where it is warm!

While Jackson HAD to go out and take care
of the car when it got stuck!
 (In his cute little jammies!)

With us all home and having a relaxing day, dad decides to do his Saturday breakfast for us on Tuesday!  What a treat!  Not only does he cook, but he cleans too!  It's great!  A warm cup of coffee, eggs, homemade biscuits, and some perfectly cooked bacon.  I think I could get used to this!  Wonder what he's cooking for dinner?





Mind you, all of this happened BEFORE 9:00 this morning . . .even the clean kitchen!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
