At one point, we thought a tree in our back yard was going to snap off under the weight of the heavy wet snow... but, our birch tree is still standing strong.
Over the weekend, we planned our Thanksgiving Day menu -- many of the recipes on our menu were the recipes I highlighted last week in our Healthy and Easy Thanksgiving series.
During this past week, we enjoyed:

I know most people want the snow for the holidays, but I'm happy with the fact that it was 72 here yesterday!!! That snow is beautiful, but I know it's COLD too...brrrrrr!!!!
ReplyDeleteHoly Moly that's a lot of snow!! We haven't seen any yet in NY...it was in the 60s this weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour menu plan looks delicious!--I've been eying that Lasagna Soup below. ;)
Holy cow you got alot of snow!!! It was pretty and 70 degrees here. I love the snow but only for a day or two :) Your meals are always so colorful. Looks like a great week!
ReplyDeleteWow! We are still wearing T-shirts here in Florida. :/
ReplyDeleteThe spinach squares look DELISH!
Oh my - I LOVE snow, looks wonderful! And, you seem to have the perfect menu for this time of year and weather :)
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a lot of snow. It's been in the high 60s/low 70s around here lately and that doesn't look to be changing.
ReplyDeleteI like snow, but 7 inches would completely shut down my city for days! Which is what happens when you live in the south and no one knows what to do with snow besides freak out. :)
I'm looking forward to the recipe for gingerbread muffins!! I love gingerbread!
ReplyDeleteThat is a crazy amount of snow. I wouldn't know what to do with myself. Highs are in the 80s in Miami.
ReplyDeleteLet me guess....you live in MN? = ) I am jealous!
