​Here we go again Atlanta - snowmageddon - part 2!  Never fear - the Davis family is prepared to wait out this latest winter storm.  I made my trip to the grocery store on Monday afternoon --- along with every other person that lives in my town.  (Crazy long checkout lines - longer than they were at Christmas!)  I wasn't looking for bread and milk though - this family prefers to weather winter storms with chicken soup and cookies.  I made a great big batch of creamy chicken soup on Monday night to get us through this nasty ice storm.  I used a recipe from www.thecookierookie.com as my inspiration for my yummy homemade soup. Don't be fooled by the "creamy" word though, I made this soup with 2% milk - no milk involved.  Creamy soup without the cream - oh baby.

​This soup was soooooo good --- and easy.  As for the winter weather - not so good. We still have power this morning so that's a plus but we did wake up to LOTS of ice.  The ice and sleet are expected to last all day today.  I will be sure to document the storm in pictures as soon as I can get outside.  This should be interesting - maybe I should have the kids videotape me trying to take pictures of the storm.  

Ciao!
