Happy Friday!! Wednesday night I acted like I was the age of my students…so that would be all of 10 years old. I couldn’t sleep…for anything. I tried switching locations, sides, tv shows, blankets, nothing was working. I wasn’t tired at all….and the more tired I wasn’t, the more annoyed I got. I was anticipating a possible snow day, pajamas inside out and all.
I finally fell asleep at 2 and woke up at 5:3o. I had a bbm from my friend Beth telling me I did, in fact, have a snow day. I quietly squealed in excitement and relief….since I’d only slept about 3.5 hours and went back to sleep until 8:30.
I tried to go out for a little bit, but once again my street has not been plowed…and as of 6 pm last night wasn’t.
So I had no choice but to do this…
all day.
What else did I do? I wrote my February newsletter (sign up on the left!) and took a nap.
I also compiled a short list of these easy to make, quick dinners. A good way to get started in the kitchen.
- Lemon Drizzled Mahi Mahi
- Salmon with Rosemary and Lemon
- Sweet Potato Pancakes
- Zucchini Boats
- Turkey Burgers
- Pizza Bites
- Whole Grain Pasta Salad
What’s your favorite quick and easy dinner to make? What do you recommend to beginner cooks that ask you for recipes?

LOVE snow days-isn’t it the best when you’re still in bed and find out you have one?
Quick and easy is usually a garbage salad or some sort of pasta-ish concoction. Newbies I always suggest veggie pizza on whole wheat-that way they can see they can have fresh wholesome food in a pizza form-life isn’t that bad when eating healthy!
Sounds like a perfect snow day!
I wore the same pajamas on my snow day yesterday =]
My street wasn’t plowed either…. but we still had work! i am jealous of your day in the house!

Haha! Sounds like a great day!
We’ve had a lot of snow this season, but I’m enjoying these snow days!

I was hoping for a snow day and I’m not even a teacher! No such luck. I had to trudge to work. I live in NYC as well and when we had the huge storm around Christmas they actually closed my office. Now I keep expecting them to do it again and they won’t! I love quick and easy dinners – thanks for sharing!
