And the snow snow snow came down down down...

When one is barely two feet tall, it's much more enjoyable to watch the snow dump down than to go play in the foot of it outside...
We were all out playing earlier...when it was only at about 5 inches and Kyleigh thoroughly enjoyed being able to move about. She shuffled her way all over the yard--laughing and giggling. Then back inside for blankets and warm chocolate milk.

Snowed in...whatever to do for lunch? Something fairly quick and using what I already have? While rationing the peanut butter and sandwich bread? Chef Tess has come to the rescue...again...Pizza muffins. One of those recipes that brings out the face palm...can't believe I've never thought of this before!


Usually there's a tub of bread dough (half and half White Whole Wheat and Unbleached Bread Flour) in my refrigerator ready and waiting...and today the remainder became pizza dough. Small balls of dough smooshed up the sides of a muffin pan, add spaghetti sauce and cheese...


Chewy, cheesy, pizza goodness...

Special Snow Day lunch...in the living room watching "Finding Nemo"...


The rest of the pizza muffins are now in the freezer. Jacob is all sorts of excited about being able to take pizza to school for lunch! You know, for whenever we dig ourselves out from under all of this snow and school re-opens. I'm thinking March.

We may have to fire up the 4x4 and head out to Kimbilio for sledding tomorrow...

Oh, that IS clever. Think we'll need to try pizza muffins the next time we're having a cabin-fever situation.

What a great meal! I've made pizza muffins from biscuit dough, but they didn't look as yummy as yours. Good luck with being snowed in with toddlers! I totally sympathize!
