Bring on the Snow!!!

After listening to the news talk about snow for the past couple of days, it finally started snowing around 6 tonight.  And after it started, it really hasn't let up!  I bet we have between 1-2 inches here.  Bradley went out and measured an hour ago and it was at an inch.  We have a bowl going to make some snow cream and he measured there!
I went out to take some pictures and it is just so peaceful outside.  I wish I had a heater on our screened in porch and I would sit out there and listen to the snow.  The snow really hadn't built up before Emma went to bed but I bet she will be so excited in the morning.  She has been watching this cartoon where they talk about making snow angels and that is all she talks about.  I think we are going to have enough to make that angel.




It has really been pretty cold all day so I took the time inside to do some cooking.  I wanted to make some stuff to stock the freezer before the baby came.  
I made spaghetti this week so I packaged up some smaller containers of sauce then.  I figured this would be good to have spaghetti or even if I wanted to make a baked ziti.
 I made two mini hash brown casseroles this afternoon. 
 My new favorites are these little stuffed new potatoes that I found on the Pioneer Woman.  I had to do some prepping today and then I flash froze them and now all I will have to do is take however many I need out and warm them in the oven!  I actually have made these before and keep them in the freezer to pull out when I need a quick side for dinner. 

Does anyone else have any good meals to make and freeze?  I am doing some chili this week but after that I am running out of ideas.
