Month: September 2013

Thoreau-ing

On the day before the first day of fall, I, the Fab Hub, and our Kidzilla headed to our favorite (OK really our only) hiking spot at a wildlife sanctuary not too far from us. Now that the weather is actually feeling a bit like fall, we’ll spend a lot more time here watching the seasons…

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…

Catching Up

A few days ago, Andrea wrote this post about catching up on an overwhelming number of blog posts…and why it’s important to her. Go read it. Really, go. I’ll wait. I could pretty much write the same post here – or at least a very similar one. Tonight, my blog feed told me I have…

Ten Things of Thankful – Just Under the Wire

Making these Ten Things of Thankful lists has been a really positive thing these last couple of weeks, so I wanted to get one in before the weekend is over. Starting the week with a focus on what is positive makes a great difference in how I feel about starting the week. For starters, I’m…

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…
