This was the week that winter finally appeared.
Two snow days, pancakes, homemade protein bars, and a few oh-so satisfying nutrition bowls that make me wonder why I don't make them more often.
And while the kids were shoveling, I was pinning recipes for cold weather comfort food, like Beef Barley Soup and Maple Roasted Blueberry Almond Oatmeal.
There was Homemade Hot Chocolate and another batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies.
These No Sew Fleece Blankets would be perfect right now, and so easy!

I made a cake on the weekend, which was a ridiculous amount of work. I like the look of this one much better. Throw-It-Together Texas Sheet Cake - I'll be trying it this weekend!
And now that most of the Christmas decorations have come down (OK, except for one tree...and the outdoor lights, but they're buried so they don't count), the house feels bare. Hello Winter Decor Ideas!
Happy Friday, Happy Weekend!

Enjoy the snow! We had our first proper snow here today too :)
ReplyDeleteSounds a wonderful week. :).
ReplyDeleteThat top photo is gorgeous - sounds like the hot chocolate was perfect for this weather #PoCoLo x
ReplyDeleteHealthy food is so deliciously good and good for you. Your spread makes my mouth water and like you, I have snow days now too ... many of them. Not kids home from school because my kids are grown, but my little Mini Aussi is a snow hound. She loves it when it is cold out because her coat is so heavy that any other weather is uncomfortable. Lovely post, Jenn, and glad to appreciate the cold when we are so often complaining about it. Have a wonderful, refreshing weekend ...

Hi Jenn, I love the snow picture. We don't get snow days here, in fact we rarely get snow. Beef and barley soup would go down a treat on a cold winters day in this house.

I really like the winter trees and the quote. It captures the feeling that January gives.
ReplyDeleteI gotta look into that nutrition bowl thing -- that looks amazingly yummy!!
ReplyDeleteOkay "horse kittens" I'm dying. I'll never not be able to call baby horses that now. LOL
I'm not a winter person but I like the quote! It makes me think of cozy winter nights cuddled up on the couch or in my bed watching TV and drinking hot chocolate:) #candidcuddles
ReplyDeleteYour photos look delicious and cold! :) I hope you have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Winter showed up here this morning, looks far prettier now!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!
Your snow is so lovely! I wish we had snow in Ireland. My kids would love a snow day or two. Taking down the Christmas decorations is the worst job. It's great when it's done though! #mg
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing your amazing snow day & delicious looking food with #candidcuddles Love the quote! x
DeleteHello, your meals look delicious! I am not a winter person but, the snow covered trees are pretty. Happy Monday, enjoy your new week ahead!

Love it! kids are shoveling and you're pinning recipes.
ReplyDeleteThat first shot is stunning.
ReplyDeleteSnow... yes, we had a little this week too. The boys had a wonderful time playing outside in it but it's all gone now. It sounds like you've had a busy week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to #PoCoLo
Never heard of 'nutrition bowls', but yours look very tasty. I have been meaning to make my own protein bars again, they are sooo good, but... maybe this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up at Saturday Art and apologies for being so late!
you are making me wish for winter, some yummy food there #mg
ReplyDeleteOoh those pancakes look gooooood!! And wow look at that big snow, we literally had a sprinkling on Sunday but nothing to get excited about - by mid morning it had all gone. Thank you so much for linking up to #MyCapturedMoment, I hope you can join again tomorrow xxx
