Soup of the Week – New and Improved Butternut Squash Edition
Butternut squash soup has made an appearance on this blog more than once. It’s a family favorite. Can’t help it. This week’s Soup of the Week is a slight variation and/or improvement on our standard butternut squash soup, though. This one is a creamy butternut squash soup. And it has some of my homemade garbage soup in…
The Day We Did Nothing Together
Last Saturday, Kidzilla and I spent the entire day together. We did exactly nothing together all day. And it was awesome. The Fab Hub went for an extended hike with a friend so Zilla and I were left to our own devices for the day. I thought of all the ways we could possibly spend…
Ten Things of Thankful – Interesting and Mildly Entertaining Edition
I missed doing the Ten Things of Thankful linkup last week. It’s not that I wasn’t thankful for anything…it just…never happened. Sometimes I really think in the midst of the heaviness of life, it’s too easy to forget about those little lighter moments that slip in between the big ones. So this week I have a…
When All Else Fails, Resort to Cats or Food
I’m in the middle of about nineteen things this week. I have a few great things to share, but none really requiring an entire post. And so, in the interest of efficiency, I offer you just a few quick items of interest. First, this may just be my new favorite recipe ever.
Soup of the Week – Double Veggie Combos
It is fall, friends! If it weren’t for the calendar, I’d still be sure of the change in season. My Mom made stew this weekend and very likely threw open the windows all over the house to let the fall breezes blow through. And that is as sure a sign of fall as anything. Aside from…
He Cooks! – Smoothie Edition
The Fab Hub sends me off to school every day with a smoothie. One day this week, my smoothie smelled horrendous. Like rotten eggs horrendous. It was so bad I couldn’t get it close enough to my face to drink it. I offered it to the BFF to smell, just in case I was imagining…
Clean Out the Pantry Week
Well, we did it. We managed to get through a busy week creating meals from what we had on hand. This is a fun game for me. I know, I know…get a life, right? Honestly, it gave me a chance to stretch my kitchen brain a little and clean out a few odds and ends…
(Not) Wordless Wednesday – CSA Lovelies
This was supposed to be a Wordless Wednesday post. But I couldn’t help myself. The CSA veggies were so lovely this week. This is my absolute favorite delivery item today. Green tomatoes! Kidzilla has been asking for fried green tomatoes, so this is perfect timing. They are cute and small, too, so she is going to…
CSA Pickup Day Dinner – Pesto Two Ways
All three of us continue to be slightly overwhelmed by the back-to-school routine. Is starting school always this hard? I’ve started back a week earlier than usual. Definitely not enjoying that part, particularly with last week’s temps and humidity. The weather has shifted, though, and I think that will make a huge difference. Kidzilla’s Kindergarten orientation…
Soup of the Week – Trifecta Edition
I skipped Soup of the Week last week because we were on the run. We took Kidzilla to her first major amusement park one day and the next, we were just plain old exhausted. I have to report that Kidzilla has clearly inherited her Fab Dad’s daredevil streak and wanted to go on some crazy big…
