More Snow, More Food

We got hit with another 4 inches of snow. I'm okay with it now because I finally got out of the house. It's amazing how energizing going to the store can be!

Here are some icicles.

And Super Bowl food. Because watching all those commercials needs wings, cheese and guacamole!

What was your favorite commercial? Mine were both VW's. The Darth Vader spot and the Beetle. Not offensive, funny and creative. Good stuff.





And now I am preparing to babysit my sister's kiddos. 5 4 kids in my house. 1 of me.

I think poo-poo cookies are needed.



This is going to be awesome!!

How to Survive an Oklahoma Blizzard

Cook, take pictures of it and eat. A lot

I don't want to talk about this snow issue any more but I think I may be starting to lose my mind! I've been stuck inside my house for what seems like weeks but has only been 4 days. 14" of snow doesn't melt very fast. And, we're supposed to get more!

So I have been entertaining myself with a little baking and a lot of eating.



My mom told me about a WW recipe that uses won-ton wrappers as a crust and a muffin pan for mini quiches. Well, I didn't have any wrappers or the recipe so I made up my own version.

I made these before the snow hit using leftovers we had in the fridge. 

• 1/4 C cooked sausage
• 1/4 C chopped mushrooms
• 1/2 a yellow pepper - chopped
• 4 sliced green onions
• a handful of mixed cheddar cheese 
• 5 eggs - slightly beaten
• a little cream 
• and some salft and pepper

I sauteed the onions, mushrooms and peppers.


Then added the sausage and cheese to the cooked veggies.


Mixed in the eggs, a little cream and some salt and pepper.


Cooked them at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes or so. And bada-bing. A complete breakfast in a muffin!



Two nights ago we ordered a Ken's Style Pizza from Mazzio's. It was AMAZING. I highly recommend.


And last night I got my sister's top secret chocolate chip cookie recipe and made my husband his favorite treat while he was at work.



Not such a good idea. Me, bored and alone with a giant plate of cookies.

Did I mention I like to snack when I'm bored!

Not the best answer to beating the boredom but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Oatmeal Cream Pies

Since I've been working in the office on Thursdays and have had family watch P, Wednesday has become a baking day. I've been trying to make little treats for the person watching my girl, a small thank you.

This week was chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and oatmeal cream pies.

I used this recipe from Everyday Food for the cookies (minus the what germ because I rarely have it) and this recipe (using pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon) for the cream filling. After making them, I should have gone with a chewier cookie. These were a little crispy. Oh well, they were still good!

Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Eric's favorite thing to eat is probably cookies. Chocolate Chip probably being his first choice. I decided to make him some Chewy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies while the strudel filling was cooking (see post below). I don't make cookies very often, mainly because they don't last long in my house and this time was no exeption. The second batch came out of the oven at about 4 pm and by 1:30 am, they were all gone. The recipe was from Everyday Food but instead of using raisins, I opted for chocolate chips.

Out of the Oven:



About 9:30 pm
