Our first snow of the season!
{weather outside}
Our first snowfall yesterday evening made for a very cozy night complete with football, pizza and ice cream. It's pretty cold and windy out there right now so I'm very thankful to be able to stay home with my boys in our warm little home for the day. My husband even fed the chickens for me so I wouldn't have to go out. :)
{around my home:}
I am watching my older two boys are eat their breakfast of fried eggs, 'Banana Bread Oatmeal' (a new favorite), and orange juice at the kitchen table while I nurse my little one in my usual chair. Last night's snow is creating a beautiful white glow throughout the dimly lit house, classical music is playing softly from the kitchen radio and the scent of cinnamon is still lingering in the air from our oatmeal.
{menu this week:}
monday: Eggplant Rolatini & Asparagus
tuesday: Creamy Chicken, Mushroom & Brown Rice Soup
wednesday: Chili & Cornbread
thursday: Chicken Cutlets, Risotto & Broccoli
friday: Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese
{new recipe:}
This Chicken & Mushroom Casserole was delicious! I served it with egg noodles and broccoli and we all loved it.

A warm, cozy house to live in especially during these cold winter days.

Oh I can just picture the soft cozy nest you've created there with you and your sweet Littles. There's something so comforting about being snuggly and warm while there's cold and snow outside. Your breakfast and your whole menu sound so yummy!!
ReplyDeleteStay warm and snuggly and have a lovely week sweet Friend. xoxo

"The Old Fashioned Girl" was one of my favorites by Louisa May Alcott. I also loved Hospital Sketches by her as well.
We get snow pretty regularly here and I'm dreaming of Spring :-) That chicken recipe really looks delicious! thanks for sharing :-)
