So I decided to try a few recipes out. First I made Deep Dark Chocolate Cake with strawberry ganache filling and butter cream white chocolate icing. Oh my goodness, I can't even tell you how good this cake is. It does have quite a few steps to it but the end result is just simply sinful. Next, I had seen a recipe for LoneStar mac and cheese and having 2 boys that love mac and cheese I thought I would give that a whirl too. It wasn't that it had alot of ingredients it was the steps took forever. BUT I hung in there and the end results were great. It reminded me of the Kraft mac and cheese with the actual cheese in it not the powder but at half the cost. Very good recipe and I will be using this now. I don't know about you but I don't like recipes that call for things you have to go out and get because you normally don't have them in your pantry. So while I was at it I figured I might as well make some potato salad. This is another recipe that all my kids like but they can tell mom's from someone Else's. See what happens when you get a snow day from school? MOM cooks, ALOT lol.
Right now my oldest son is out on the 4wheeler trying to plow everyone out. Of course he did mom's first. Which I am grateful. This has been one of the worst storms that I've seen in several years come though here. Ice and more Ice then snow on top of that. And it's right down COLD out there. DH had to go pick up our daughter and take her to work. (she couldn't call in, she's the boss!) She had gotten stuck 4 times yesterday and when I spoke with her last night she was pretty out of pockets so dad got up at 4am and went and got her and got her to work. He said even with a 4 wheel drive it was rough going.
So now my baby (who's 6) and I are hunkered down in the warmth of home and planning on taking it easy while dad and Eldest son are out plowing everyone out. Who knows what we will cook today.... or clean today..... or post today. But you can be sure it will be in the warmth of home. I like home, don't you?
