Nothing like a warm chocolate chip with a glass of milk in cozy pajamas. |

| Bought ingredients for 3-4 of my staples and it will be a game time decision based on what everyone wants. |

Bananas were gone at my store. Didn't look for lasagna boxes or strawberries! I should have. ALL hot chocolate mix was gone! There were a few forgotten jars of ovaltine and that's it. Lots of produce was wiped out, so that was probably a supply and shipping timing thing for produce in general. Plenty of milk bread and eggs at my store, so the hot choc. mix was the only weird thing. |

DH is from Louisiana so he makes all of the Creole favorites, plus some dishes from places all over the world that he lived in the Marines.
I change it up all the time. When the kids lived at home, it was their requests. Now that it is just the two of us, it’s often whatever we can make 2 servings of. It’s too close to Christmas for me to crave any soul food except cornbread. I am making chili for tonight’s dinner so we will have cornbread then. We had frozen Jonah crab from NYE so I made green curry seafood soup for lunch. |

To be honest I'm just planning normal meals. I'm making some muffins right now but I'd be doing that anyway.
My kid's birthday is on Tuesday and I made sure I had all the stuff for his cake and his favorite dinner, in case we're still stuff in. I'm making some brownies ahead of time so we have something sweet on the off chance we don't have power. |

I have so much work to do I don’t know about any real baking or anything.
I’m planning on roasting a chicken with root veg (potatos, carrots, parsnips) tomorrow, assuming we’ve got power. If not, I guess I’ll try it on the grill? I did also get some hot dogs in case we end up grilling more! The good applegate uncured one. I guess if we loose power I will just be grilling up a storm of stuff before it defrosts (especially if air temps above freezing!), so will probably do some grilled fish first, then move on to the sausage and chicken wings. We have a lot of frozen prepared food. Our freezer is really stocked right now so I’ll be bummed if we lose power. I did learn a trick last time — if you put melted ice cream into your ice cream maker to churn, you can just refreeze it and it’s perfect! |

You can just put frozen stuff outside in the cold if you lose electricity. |

Also mainly planning normal meals. We did a big late grocery shopping last week due to the holiday, so we will just cook up the stuff we haven't made yet- spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, gochujang tofu with broccoli.
We did go to the store because we needed flour and salt though. I made a couple loaves of sourdough today for room temp food in case of power loss. And I'll make some pizza dough that we can cook in the outdoor oven if necessary. |
