Snowman Day Without Going Outside!

So the past 2 months I have continued my Dads tradition of Soup Sunday (I will get into more details with that later this Fall/early Winter). I love the concept of on Sundays in the Winter cold months you have something nice and hot brewing all day. Soups are good for left overs too (total plus when you are working and tired during the week)! Well, this Sunday I did something I have wanted to do since October (yes I plan that far out sometimes). Snowman Day!!!!!!!! Perfect timing we had a light dusting of snow on the ground when I began to make dinner.  See the menu and pics below.



Time to stay warm while dinner is cooking. This is homemade Hot Cocoa.
Just recently I started making my cocoa from scratch
with cocoa powder, sugar, milk, a little vanilla and cinanmon.
We all LOVE it!!!!
My assistant....


This adorable snowman has 3 completely different tastes.
The head is a baslamic oil drizzle and oregano and shredded parm.
The body is a homemade garlic butter and mozzerela cheese.
The bottom portion is a shredded chicken alfredo pizza.
 
Proud little Stinker cannot wait to share his Pizza Snowman with the family!

                                     And for dessert......... simple and quick thats what I like!

 I was determined to make each face different colors. I got the sprinkles to stay on with corn syrup, the eyes are chocolate chips, the nose is a peanut and of course the body is a mini powdered donut.


BEST part of snowman day was my secret recipes worked. ALL schools in the area the next morning got a snowday! Hooray!!!! No eating the leftovers the next day did not get a second snow day. :-)
