Bummer.

Just when spring was a day a way and you thought you were done with snow for a good 250 days or so... the weather decides it's going to snow again.
Really?! Come on. :(

Eric and I had plans to split paths this weekend and go each home, but after getting new tires this week, packing the car all up and planning on leaving after work, I'm actually staying in Columbia now because of the 1-3+ inches that's supposed to hit NWA. Frustrating. Especially in mid-March. With my luck now, it probably won't even do anything to the roads down there and it will be fine. But, we can't afford more car repairs right now so I'd better not take a chance - I think my 2 week trip to the service center, Eric's new brake pads, my new tires, and the small windshield cracks that we need to get fixed ASAP are enough for the this month. I'm surprised we still have some savings left after all of that.

So, with Eric on his way to Memphis right now, what's a girl to do with a whole weekend to herself?
Looks like I'll be catching up on some painting, working out (I've slacked on The Shred all week!) maybe doing some cooking, getting groceries, and hopefully some shopping...hopefully I don't break the bank with that. ;) Maybe it won't be so bad.

This week was pretty uneventful. Here are the recipes we tried this week from e-Mealz...

Meat and Three
1/2 to 1 lb top round steak, trim & cut in chunks
1 can French-style green beans, drain
1 large potato, slice thin with skin on
1 small onion, slice thin


In crock pot, layer 1/2 cup water, then all of the steak. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 can green beans, 1/2 of onions, 1/2 of potatoes. Repeat onions and potatoes. Cook on low for 6 hours.


Chicken and Brocolli Stir Fry
1/2 lb boneless chicken breasts
1/2 bunch of brocolli
8 oz can sliced water chesnuts


Stir Fry Mixture:
1 can chicken broth
3 T corn starch, 1/4 c orange juice, 3 T sugar, 3 T soy sauce, 1 t ginger, 1/2 t garlic powder, 1/2 t salt)


Slice chicken and broccoli florets in bite size pieces. In large non-stick skillet, saute broccoli and chicken on med-high for 2 minutes. Cover and let steam on low for 5 minutes. Pour stir fry mixture over chicken and broccoli and stir constantly until thickened. Serve over steamed rice.

And that's about it, really. Hope you all have a good (and hopefully snow-free!) weekend!
