Can I just say that yesterday was probably THE coldest day of my life!

There was some serious wind going on here in the Beehive State!

I decided to go grocery shopping....BAD idea...but really when is that ever a fun idea?

I of course stop at the local gas station to get my soda on...and then I get out of the car...

Serious I was chocking on air it was so cold I couldn't even BREATHE!!

It gets worst I finally make it to Target to restock the bare fridge, after shopping for what seems like a lifetime I go outside to load up and roll out and I have never been so cold in my life!

I was praying for death right there in the parking lot...BrrRrrr so so FRIGID!

My fingers were numb within a matter of seconds!!

Can spring get here already?

I forgot to mention I had to brave the frozen tundra yesterday to get stuff to make an awesome dinner for my hubby (see I don't so much hate cooking I just don't so much like it, it is SOoo much work and then you have to clean up {insert wise guy comment of: "Boo hoo someone call the WHAMBULANCE HERE} its just a big production is all ;)).I decided I need to get over this cause my man deserves some awesome home cooked meals!

I decided to make:

Ina Garten's Chicken Piccata

and

Artichokes with Lemon Yogurt and Shallots

It turned out DEE-VINE!

On tomorrow's menu:

Steak with Gorgonzola Cheese

and

Church-Style Lemon Roasted Potatoes

Sure hope it turns out good!

Wish me luck??!!

Love, love.

ps: MVD is under going some construction! Stay tuned for awesomeness!!
