The news of a snow day came last night at 9 pm. Love that they made the decision ahead of time! So in the morning came the forecasted freezing rain. About 3 inches of it. Trent was at work and I decided to tackle the ice by shoveling whenever there was a good amount of accumulation. I learned that ice is heavy and doing it without gloves causes blisters…and fast. Then I made chocolate chip cookies for the girls.
I let them stay in the pajamas for the day and they played played played around the house happily. I couldn’t believe how mellow the day was. Trent’s firm closed at noon in anticipation for the forecasted 10 inches of snow and we waited…..and waited….and waited. I think we got a total of 3 inches (on top of the 3 inches of ice). No power outages, no blizzard conditions, and no being shut in the house. I’ll take it!
We let the girls pick a movie and watch it in the basement and I made popcorn.
In every issue of Rachel Ray’s magazine she does a burger of the month. She’s clever with her burger recipes. This one is a turkey burger with white cheddar, sliced apple, and a cranberry mustard sauce. It is simply delicious.
I also made Cooking Light's Spicy Cilantro Slaw. It’s supposed to be a topping for fish, but it’s good as a side dish too.
Day of being stuck inside turned out to be a nice family fun day and no crazy blizzards or snow. My level of winter crankiness is surprisingly low.

I was a little hesitant about the apple on the burger but it was great! I also liked the spiciness in the cole slaw!
