What's on your snow day menu?

My college kids are home so we have a full house right now, which means that I have to plan out at least 4 meals to get us through tomorrow night. We are doing Cookie and Kate's peanut soup tonight (https://cookieandkate.com/west-african-peanut-soup/) and the kids have requested pancakes for breakfast, but I'm looking for some ideas for lunch and dinner tomorrow. I have found that cooking and baking is a good way to fill time between trips outside, so something that the kids can help out with (lots of chopping and mixing) fits the bill nicely. Anybody have any go-to snow day meals they like to make for days like this?

I have a big pot of homemade meatballs and sauce simmering now, using summer tomatoes from the freezer. I made some crusty no knead bread that we will have with it. And apple crisp for dessert and snacking on tomorrow.

I made Minestrone soup.

I’m planning things closed through Tuesday. White chicken chili with Rotel dip for extra calories. Big iceberg salad.
Monkey bread tomorrow morning.
Sandwiches for lunch. Will fry up bacon for these sandwiches. Vegetable soup too.
Spaghetti and meatballs with signature Hawaiian roll garlic bread tomorrow. Roasted broccoli.
Egg casserole for breakfast Tuesday.
Grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch.
Chicken biscuit casserole for dinner. Spring mix salad.
Will make crockpot hot chocolate tomorrow.

Baked oatmeal, eggs, bacon
Grilled cheese with tomato soup
Hot chocolate
A beef burrito bake with salad for dinner

Second day, probably a bit more “fend for yourselves” on the breakfast and lunch, but steak and twice-baked potatoes for dinner for DH’s birthday.

I want to make a bunch of foods and then just have them ready for whenever. Due to the cold, I'm having trouble getting motivated to cook!

I had to google crockpot hot chocolate because I never heard of it. Do the kids drink it all day?

A giant pot of chicken and andouille gumbo. It’ll make enough for 4 meals.

Hoping the kids will eat leftovers for lunch.
Either lentil enchiladas or roasted garlic chicken and rice or farro for dinner.

We had homemade veggie nachos for dinner tonight.

I’m wondering how likely it is that I will get my farm delivery Monday overnight.

I love peanut soup; I had some at the Mt Vernon Inn yesterday.

I made a big pot of cream of vegetable soup tonight and will probably bake some bread and maybe some cookies tomorrow. Like a PP, I'm planning on baked potatoes for lunch tomorrow.

baking bread is a great idea. Wonder if I can make that happen today.

Kids are making cinnamon rolls.
We're eating foie gras on baguette.
All these are rewards in exchange for everyone taking a turn at shoveling. No shoveling, no foie gras!
