i am so excited on this cold monday, because Beau has the day off! that means O and i get him all to ourselves today :) 

1. Tell us what you like to do when it's cold outside.
when it's cold outside i like to be inside snuggled up in a big cozy sweater, drinking hot chocolate, tea, or coffee. i also love reading a good book in front of the fireplace.

2. Tell us some of your favorite "winter" recipes.
chili, lentil soup, mashed potatoes, and my favorite, corn chowder!

5. Tell us if you had the option of snow or no snow, what would you pick?
if it's cold outside, i'd rather it be snowing than not. but i couldn't do anything crazy like snow year round.
