So... what 'cha cookin' today?
I'd love for my house to smell yummy all day long.
Anyone cooking something special in honor of the snow day?
If yes, would you care to share recipes or links?
Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.

I did white chili in the crockpot last night. We'll have that again for dinner tonight.
I'll be making butterscotch oatmeal cookies with the boys. If we get ambitious, we'll do chocolate chip cookies as well.
M&M cookies.
Pistachio nut swirl cake.
DH is staying home, and I'm looking forward to baking!

I'm not feeling good so I hope DH gets home in time to make chicken corn chowder. http://bunsinmyoven.com/2011/02/18/corn-and-chicken-chowder/
I planned on making some lemon blueberry loaf and a lemon icebox cake for sunday but I have a feeling I will be buying something at this point.

Nutmegs posted it on her blog a year or two ago and I am addicted! It's such a yummy comfort food!
I made blueberry pancakes this morning and now I have rosemary beer bread in the oven. I wish I'd have prepared more so I could do more cooking today and make some freezer meals or soups. DH is defrosting some pheasant so I need to come up with something to do with that for dinner tonight.

This morning I made baked oatmeal with blueberries and bananas from the skinny taste website. It was yummy and made my house smell good!

Tonight I can't decide between steaks and mashed potatoes with a veggie or the skinny taste stuffed pepper soup which is yummo!!
