Snow Day Snacks
Well, we had a snow day today, and from what it looks like for tomorrow, we’ll have another. I wish I had planned ahead a bit more, because we could have really done some baking and cooking together, instead we just made some yummy snacks.
We made seasoned popcorn. We seasoned our stove top popped pop corn with onion salt, garlic and some oregano. My kids also love to sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on it. Very yummy.
We made chocolate chip cookies and also made some peanut butter cookies. They were pretty standard recipes, nothing special in them except that one batch got some added nuts. The kids don’t like them, but I sure do.
We made pancake batter and then flavored it with all sorts of things. One small batch we used almond extract, another we used pumpkin pie seasoning, and so on. We just started pulling seasonings out and if they sounded good, we tried them. We couldn’t find a pancake we didn’t like in the whole mix.
So what do you do on snow days?
OHH That looks delicious! We are having heavy snow today and I have to out in it later lol.!!
I’m guessing that a ’snow day’ is when there is so much of the white stuff, they close the schools yes? Very rarely get so much of it here in UK that happens.
I’ll take a look at the cookie recipes. I said I would do some baking for a coffee morning coming up in a week or two.

What a great way to keep kids busy and happy on a snow day! I’ll definitely be adding this to my favorites as a reminder this winter.
