I was going to make some apple cinnamon bread from a NYT recipe, but got my dry ingredients together and realized my apple sauce had mold in it.

Thinking about heading to the store to get more, but the roads are not great out there. Agree with OP that a good bolognese would be yummy -- if I got to the store might get the stuff to make NYT "Sunday Sauce" which popped up as a suggestion for me as I was looking at the apple bread recipe.

There’s a syrup now. We made fried ice cream and put it on top. Swoon worthy!

An Abuelita syrup? Hmmm 🤔. I’m intrigued.

^^immediate PP

I also baked peanut butter swirl brownies that are to die for. I have to control myself when I’m around them.

Over the course of the no-school week, snow-day highlights have included the following:

French toast, Belgian waffles for breakfasts
Creamy loaded potato soup for lunches
Shredded beef barbacoa, lasagna, butter shoyu chicken for dinners

I don't always make something specifically for the snow day, but last night I told DH that I thought this would be good to make for a snowy Friday dinner:

I definitely don’t normally do this on snow days, but we had covid and didn’t do our Christmas baking this year, so we’re going to use this 3 day weekend to bake and deliver goodies to some friends and our neighbor who shoveled our driveway.

How do you not gain weight eating like that?

I think you’re in the wrong subforum

Homemade brunch foods. Usually I make pancakes but someone gave me English muffin mix and pans, so I'm trying that today. With eggs and bacon.

I like to start by making people whatever they want for breakfast. Pancakes? Sure. Egg sandwich? Absolutely.

Then I'll usually bake something in the afternoon.

Nice bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. Made a pasta casserole for dinner last night so that will be lunch. Maybe a simple soup with crusty sourdough for dinner.

I love snow days.

I’m having issues with my stove, but otherwise I would be making enchiladas, black-eyed peas, and my grandmother’s gingerbread.

This week, I made Wedding Soup and Vegetable Lasagna. Basically, winter food.

We love brownies but I only ever make them on snow days. My kids know when they wake up to snow there will be brownies! It’s our snow day tradition- go play in the snow and come home to some warm brownies. We like the Ghirardelli supreme mix with the fudge packet.
