Before and After The Storm

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday

Here we are 7 days out from last week’s snow and ice storm yet the damages are still very much evident.  This storm caused major headaches and heartaches for many Pennsylvanians due to the loss of power, initially affecting more than 500K people.  Wawa on 202 North almost ran out of coffee and did run out of bagels Wednesday morning.

The day started out cold and dry but  it didn’t take long for that to change. Thankfully, in Delaware we didn’t get the brunt of the storm but we all know there’s another one not too far behind.  Oops just heard the forecast, they are calling for 6-8 inches of snow beginning Wednesday night – Old Man Winter is not giving up without a fight!

…then came the rain, and unfortunately the trees couldn’t handle the weight of the ice and that’s when the damage began.

Deadly winter wonderland

Power lines were downed causing many in Chester County to lose power for almost a week and some are still without!

4 Ingredient 40 Minute Meal

Hello Friends, I hope you had a good day.  

I didn’t make it into work this morning because of a quick moving, yet severe rainstorm that caused me to turn around and head home.  Fortunately the weather improved and it turned into a wonderful sunny afternoon.

I’m still on the Nutrisystem program and eating their meals but that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped cooking dinner for my men.  Last night’s easy breezy meal contained only 4 ingredients that took 40 minutes to prepare.  

They really liked this dish and there was enough leftover for them to have for lunch today.  If you try this recipe let me know, and if you put your own little twist on it, tell me what you used.

Ingredients:
Dry Pasta
Turkey Sausage
Frozen Broccoli
Salad Dressing
