The Blizzard....

By -
It is all over the news, starting this morning, we are getting snow. A LOT of snow. 16 to 18 inches by the time it is all over...

Yippe.

(Can you sense my enthusiasm - LOL?)

OK - what is the big deal? I know I live in the Midwest, it is winter and we WILL get snow! It is the media hype that creates the panic for so many. It is turned into Snow-maggedon with the constant coverage and news weather alert cut-ins!. People start to panic, hit the stores and cover in fear.

It is insane!

What do I do to prepare? Not much, LOL

**I already have a houseful of food.
**We have a generator if the power goes out - this will supply the tiny bit of electricity needed to keep our boiler going so we stay warm.
**I have plenty of "rainy day" projects for Ms Sarah to do - like finish her class Valentine pass outs, math workbooks, board games, etc
**I will hit the store this morning and get 2 gallons of milk and some fresh fruit with the overages, using a few of my vouchers from last week's cereal deals.

That is it! If there is a 2 hour delay for school in the morning, Ms Sarah doesn't go to kindergarten. I do think we will be school free on Wednesday...

What do you do to prepare?

Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs ...
