Snow Storm?

Another great weekend has come and gone! On Friday they were calling for a huge snow storm here! 8 inches and an inch of ice! It was suppose to happen Saturday into today. So T and I cancelled our plans to go to my in laws. I was so disappointment because I really enjoy spending time with them. My mother in law is like a girlfriend to me (one with better clothes ((we are the same size, we can share!)) ). But T said it was going to be to icy to drive the parkway, even with his four wheel drive. We rushed to the store (along with a million other people) to get our groceries for the week. I picked up some brown rice sushi for dinner, avocado cucumber and veggie (carrots, cucumber and avocado). Yum, hit the spot!
Along side I made some collards. I had to have some greens with my meal! These were so delish! Lots of garlic and olive oil! I don't buy them very often, I couldn't understand why?! They are so good and good for you! They are anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-cancer. Nothing beats that!

Back to the snow, Saturday morning we woke up, not a snow flake in site. T assured me the weather men said it could start anywhere from 9am-12noon. So we went on with our day rushing around to get everything done before the storm. We went to Whole Foods to pick up the groceries we couldn't get at the regular grocery store. We also picked up lunch. I made a big salad with edamame, green beans, huge canellini beans (by the way, these have real name, not sure what it is though..anyone know?), roasted peppers, olives, peas, raw onion and some other veggies.

When we left Whole Foods it was snowing! Finally, the storm decided to show up! T and I took our lunch to a lake nearby and ate it while enjoying the scenery from the warm car. I washed my salad down with a Strawberry Kombucha.

The snow wasn't coming down hard at all! It would have to pick up A LOT for us to see 8 inches. T and I went on with our day. In fact we invited my brother in law and his girlfriend over to play some Cranium with us. They live only 15 minutes away, so the snow didn't scare them. Before they came over I made Taco Soup for T and I. I got this recipe from an email from VegNews. It's going to be in the upcoming issue. I garnished mine with tomatoes, raw onions, and avocado. This soup was superb! T really enjoyed it as well, he added tortilla chips to his. We froze the leftovers for another day. Definitely holding on to this recipe!

So, I bet you are wondering how much snow we ended up getting in the end? Ha.. the huge storm turned out to be a dud! We stayed home for nothing (not that we didn't have a blast playing Cranium). Total snow accumulations.. about 2 inches! We have lots of leftover ice though. So much for the "big storm".. I am no longer paying attention to the weather. Ha ha!
