15 Fun Recipes for a Snow Day

From snowman-themed treats to homemade snow ice cream, make the most out of that next wintry day at home with these 15 Fun Recipes for a Snow Day...

Your cell phone dings, & you get the notification that your kids have been pining for all morning- school is cancelled for the day due to snow!  Yay, a snow day! 

You & your kiddos can just spend the morning snuggled up together with a cozy blanket on the couch & watch movies.  Later on, you all will head outside for a little bit to build a snowman or have a snowball fight. You head back inside after wards with pink cheeks & noses and warm up with mugs of hot cocoa topped with marshmallows. 








Reality check: This will be the snow day that ends up dragging into 2 or 3 or heaven helps us all, 4 or more days at home. 

When you have heard for the umpteenth time about how bored your kids are (even though they probably have a mountain of toys & books to keep them occupied). And building that snowman isn't going to happen with temperatures in the lower 20's. 








Now I am not saying that the snow day in scenario #1 is just a fantasy and can never happen. My kiddos & I have definitely enjoyed a snow day here & there that lived up to these idyllic expectations. 

But in reality, snow days can sometimes make us cranky- both parents & kids alike. 








While I don't possess the formula for a perfect snow day at home with your kids, I do have an arsenal of super fun, snow-themed recipes to share with you all today. Most of these recipes also happen to be kid-friendly making them great boredom busters for little hands...

Venison & Bacon Chili

This hearty & comforting homemade chili recipe has two unexpected ingredients in it- ground venison & smoky, thick cut bacon... 

Well, the holidays are over & we have officially entered the dreariness of the winter season. Not that I think that winter is all bad. 

I do enjoy the occasional snow day when I can look at the sparkling white stuff from my window while wrapped up in a cozy blanket & sipping on something warm. ;) 

It is definitely no secret that this girl hates being cold. I mean, I can count on one hand how many times I have given skiing a go only to find myself parked inside the lodge drinking a hot toddy within an hour. A snow bunny, I am not! 

Wintertime is when I want to be snuggled up on the couch under a blanket watching Netflix while enjoying cozy comfort food. And what says comfort better than a bowl of hearty homemade chili?
