While the Cat's Away

The mice must eat!

Going here with some good friends. Haven't been away from home for four days since.....I can't remember when! Looking forward to a grand time!

Just so my precious family won't miss me too much (and to appease my own guilt for being gone so long!) I prepared their favorite dishes to keep the happy for a little while.


"Maw Maw's Chicken and Rice"

"Paw Paw's Beef Vegetable Soup"

All-Time Fav: "Tater Tot Casserole"

These Are Days To Remember....

I love Snow Days!! Something about being snowed in with the ones I love, just turns me into Susie Homemaker.
  • Sat hypnotized by the falling snow and the hungry birds at my backyard feeder for way too long.
  • Homemade Sweet Potato Soup for lunch
  • Homemade Bone Broth of which I used some in our Homemade Chicken ~n~ Dumplins for dinner
  • Read a bit of Nourishing Traditions today
  • One load of laundry (resigned to the fact that its never DONE!)
  • Made snow angels with Tommy
  • Washed a lot of dishes by hand b/c dishwasher was already full
  • Nursing some sick babies back to health with homemade cough syrup and hot teas and the infamous "La Mi Nonna Sansone Minestra Di Pollo," My Grandomother Sansone's Chicken Soup 
    (Homemade, of course!)
  • Spent too much time on facebook
  • Watching movies with the fam
  • AND I got lessons planned for the next month!
Looks like another snow day tomorrow! More precious time to spend with my family! Feels like a baking day. And, maybe I'll finish that laundry? NOT!
