So, what's the best way to spend a cold snowy spring day??? Well in my world, it's scrapping and eating with a like-minded friend.
We had a lunch so delicious that we had it again for supper! Mickey made minestrone soup - the first time I've ever had it - and it was just perfect for a cold dreary day. It was so thick you could eat it with a fork, but we used spoons anyway.
For dessert I made strawberry nachos - a nice springy treat.
I had these for the first time when my sister made them for us last month when we were in Arizona. They are so simple and absolutely yummy. Here's the recipe.
Cinnamon Chips: (it's not an exact science so quantities are to your taste)
flour tortillas
butter, melted
sugar
cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375. Brush each tortilla with melted butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on buttered tortillas. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife cut each tortilla into 8 wedges. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes or until the tortillas barely begin to crisp. Remove the crisps to a serving plate and let them rest 2 minutes to cool and crisp. (I made them the previous night and stored them in an air-tight container).
Place cinnamon chips on a platter and top with diced strawberries. Drizzle with melted chocolate. Drop dollops of whipped cream on edges, or all over if you like.
Eat with your fingers, scooping berries, chocolate and cream up with the cinnamon nacho chips. Quick, easy and delicious!
Although I worked steadily at my scrapbooking, I only got two pages done - but who's counting. I had a good time working on them.

A snowstorm. OH NO! Glad it's all going to melt soon. It's raining here. I have NEVER in my life had minestrone soup. I must admit it looks scrumptious. And I can just taste those strawberry nachos. YUMMY! LOVE all your scrapbook pages. Especially the one about the cellphone. LOL take care.
We went from welcoming a sunny Spring to storms and flooding. Our temps cooled also and I'm surprised we didn't have snow. That soup would have been good for us here as well. I would have to think a while about those nachos, although they do look yummy.
Pat that dessert looks yummy! Where do you buy cinnamon chips?
Love your scrap book pages too.
Great post except for the snow part! We've had unseasonably warm temps for weeks now. I'm not complaining one bit! Love your cell phone page!!!
Winter completely avoided us this year. Nice scrapbook pages! Hope your weather warms up and stays that way!

Gosh, it must be really strange when you get a snowstorm, when you think that spring has arrived!! I can imagine that your scrapbooking must take up a lot of time to just finish one. They are looking very good! Wow, that strawberry dessert looks to die for, and I'm certainly going to try it.
Your minestroni soup and strawberry nachos look absolutely delicious - pure comfort food for a snowy day.
This does look like a fun way to share time with a friend. I can almost smell that soup!
You spelled Eloise wrong
