It's been snowing all day. The storm rolled into the Oklahoma City Metro early yesterday morning bringing icky freezing rain. We have at least an inch of ice underneat about 4-inches of snow right now. Thankfully we haven't experienced any power outages as of yet! While the kids kept busy playing board games, I plotted my plan of action for dinner. Ok I lied, I watched movies played Mafia Wars & Cafe World on Facebook and Tweeted all day! haha!
I do have to say planning out our meals one month in advance has worked out like a charm! I'm always prepared and have dinner on the table by 6:00 p.m. at the latest! Rolling back into the old routine has made life easy breezy again!
Ok so on with dinner. It's baking in the oven right now and Mmm-Mmm, I can smell the lovely aroma of thyme! I got a bit of a late start on dinner tonight because I spent most of my day being lazy.
I want to thank KT-Q for taking most of the pictures while I prepped. Thank you baby!!
