I took the night off, too! I'm sick, not of cooking, but of having to figure out what to cook for dinner. So I had a mushroom soup from the freezer, and my husband had a hot dog and part of a can of Grillin' Beans.

Joan, they are good! Use whatever dough you would typically use for sweet rolls. For the filling, mix 3 ounces of cream cheese, 1 egg, about 1/3 cup of sugar, and some vanilla. I also added 2 tablespoons of flour because I was afraid it would be too runny. Spread this over the rolled out dough (about 15 x 24") and then sprinkle about a cup of blueberries over it. Roll up and slice into 12 rolls. Bake. Spread with a cream cheese frosting/glaze while they are still warm from the oven.

I made a simple potato salad and a broccoli salad to go with the ribs we will be cooking on the grill for dinner tonight. Apparently, BakerAunt is sending her storm our way when it is done with her! Rain all day tomorrow (it's 40* here now), then snow tomorrow night through Friday. We are forecast to get 12-18 inches, but I'm thinking it might dump most of that on the Midwest, before it arrives here.

I made Gooey Blueberry Rolls posted by Anna on the original Baking Circle. They are delicious.

Carrots take forever to sprout! Sometimes up to 3 weeks, even with perfect conditions.

I made turkey soup today. I sauteed celery, onions, and carrots, thickened it with flour for a heartier texture, and added broth. I added chunks of turkey, plus thyme, garlic and onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Finally, I tossed in the last of a small bag of frozen mixed vegetables. This should help us through this week of below zero cold topped off with another ice and snow storm on Thursday-Friday. We've had 16 nights below zero so far this season, unusual even for Vermont.

I baked up the last of the cranberry-coconut refrigerator cookies I made for the Christmas cookie tray.

We had cheesesteak stuffed peppers, and have a couple left for lunches this week. That's the last of the pepper halves I froze last fall.

Germination! Looks good. When can you start seeds outdoors, or transplant seedlings, in your area? I lived in Georgia for 2 years, but didn't garden back in the 60s. My indoor lettuce and spinach is almost ready to eat, but I'm holding off until it the leaves are bit bigger. But when I run out of store-bought next week, I'll probably start cutting it.

Tonight we had sausages with blueberry pancakes and maple syrup. Perfect for a blustery Nor'easter night, although we have only a dusting of snow.

I made two loaves of buttermilk maple oatmeal bread today. Soft, tender, but not fluffy.

We had fajitas and raw veggies with a spicy dip.

Yes, thanks Mike! I'm looking forward to checking out some of the presentations.

I made a pizza for dinner - pepperoni with the works.

Laughing! I love, love, love chicken. I could eat chicken 5-6 nights a week. "Winner, winner, chicken dinner!" at my house. My husband? Hah! Not so much. He doesn't care for chicken. He is the original "Where's the beef?" spokesperson.
