Winter Weekend Hibernation Plans?


Good morning Reader,

Are you staying warm? The girls had a "cold day" yesterday because the wind chills were -20°F. This morning, my phone says it's -3° & feels like -11°.

I think most of the snow is supposed to miss us, but 3-5" is expected tomorrow.

Whatever the case, my plan is to hibernate for the weekend! How about you?

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! We don't have much planned this weekend & I'm looking forward to that. What to Make this Weekend I do have plans to make this smoothie for the kids (again) after school. We've been making it most days lately! Tomorrow is Pi Day & I shared a video for individual chicken pot pies this week. Or, if you're after a sweet pie, try my brownie pie, sheet pan apple pie, or a peanut butter pie. These stuffed chicken breasts don't get enough attention - you should try them!...
