Ohhh, Hello blog world! You are my stress relief for the day! I’ve done so much today-all while sitting on my couch. I didn’t go to the gym this morning because I woke up and it looked like this outside:
Ok, I lied. It didn’t look like that but it was close…no it wasn’t. Truth is I forgot to take a picture. We got around 6 inches and I definitely did not want to go outside at all.
So, I worked on finals all day. I’m not even exaggerating. I’ve been doing school work since 9:30 this morning. I have no idea where the day went!
Oh well, I was nice and cozy inside all day. 
Did you get snow today too?
Anyway, the only interesting thing I have to report about is this aweseme mac & cheese I made the other night for dinner.
I got the recipe out of the September Issue of Cooking Light and made the following adjustments:
- I used a mix of Whole Wheat Penne and Whole Wheat Mini Shells for fun instead of just penne
- Iused 1 cup of shredded reduced fat Cabot cheddar and 1 cup of shredded part-skim mozzarella instead of sharp cheddar.
- I only added 1/4 tsp of salt
- I did not add bacon or onions (because I didn’t have any!!)
Here is the recipe again if you didn’t catch it the first time.
I loved it!! It was creamy and not overly cheesy. We had broccoli on the side.
I made enough so we would have leftovers but it was too cheesy for Jeff so I’m the only one eating them! What a shame! 
Other than that fantastic meal, my eats have been pretty boring. I had 2 1/2 bowls of cereal for dinner last night!!
I think I’m addicted to Newman’s Own Honey Flax Flakes. They’re so good. I’ve been eating it for snacks too!
I’ve also been devouring the cookies that Jeff and I made the other night.
They’re amazing!
I’m suffering from Uncommon Grounds withdrawal. I haven’t been there in about 2 weeks. Something must be done about this!
I have a rough draft to edit for my English class and a GenEd final on Friday and then I am DONE with school for the semester. Wish me luck!!
What are your plans for the holidays?
Have a great night!!
Cookies look good, what recipe are they from?
BEST OF LUCK!!
Good luck!
Omg that mac and cheese looks amazing
We got like 4 inches and then it rained all day, what a shame!
Haha that cereal is evil! I believe I’ve eaten 1/2 a box in a sitting before… Evil I tell you!!
The snowday was nice, especially on Wednesday! This week’s going to feel so so short!
Oh and GOOD LUCK!
Jennifer-it isn’t a recipe!

homemade mac and cheese is like one of the best things ever!
Mmmmm, that creamy mac and cheese … and those cookies!! You are making me hungry girl!!
My plans for the holidays involve lots of good eats, spending time with family and friends, and then heading to the Dominican Republic for New Years!
Haha, the other day after I commented on your blog, I looked outside my window and it WAS snowing after I told you that it wasn’t!
Mac and cheese looks soooo tasty!!!
Have a great day chica!
We’re going to my in-laws in the Charleston, SC area for the holidays. I can’t wait!
the mac and cheese looks yum.
we got about 6 inches over here too. 
YEAH for almost being done! Those Albany winters are ROUGH…lucky you’re getting outta there soon!
Good luck with finals my dear!
yummy mac and cheese!
do i remember correctly that you or your family lives near rockland county? on dec. 22nd, me and christina (from christina butter blog) are meeting for dinner at the palisades mall – if you are indeed in that area and can join, shoot me an email actorsdiet(at)gmail.com
we had that storm already, it really blew.
Good luck on getting all the school stuff done. I order you to rejoice in another semester complete with a good beer!!! Much love to ya’!!!
If I were allowed to subsist on only one food for the rest of my life, it would be macaroni and cheese.
PS. I’m from Buffalo. Snow is equal parts joyful and painful. Also: this might seem whack, but I skirted around Albany this fall on my honeymoon.
