We had Snowmaggedon arrive here in Kentucky last week. My husband wasn’t even able to get out to work for 3 days. We knew the storm was coming, so I prepared a lot of food ahead of time. We also made a large pan of brownies, and chocolate cookies for snacking.

We ended up not losing electric, thankfully, so I was able to cook more during the week. One thing that I made was a homemade Boston Cream Pie. I’ve eaten it many times, I’m from Massachusetts, but I had never made one before. It came out really good!

It may look perfect in the picture, but keep reading to see how it isn’t!

I celebrated another birthday last week. Number 52, to be exact. My daughter, 19, made my favorite, from scratch, chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.

Happy birthday to me! lol

Last Thursday, my oldest son cooked supper for us. He made tacos with all the fixings, including beans and rice. He did a good job, even if he makes a big mess in the kitchen.

He also had a little trouble in the kitchen….

Tonight, for dinner, I threw together a nice Turkey Alfredo with turkey I had frozen last month. Nice, big chunks of turkey, to keep the meat eaters happy. lol

Last week was a bust in the kitchen. Several of the kids were sick, and I caught it, too. Thankfully, really, thankfully, it was “only” a bad cold. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want any of us to be sick with a cold, but it is much better to be sick with that, thatn with the flu that is going around. Definitely don’t want the flu!

So the most I did in the kitchen was make the kids juice, and broth with noodles. I’m so glad I had some home canned turkey broth on hand!
