Thinking of Thanksgiving

Just a little over a week away is one of my very favorite holidays. I’m so ready for Thanksgiving! I’ve got my menu planned, and lists made. I’ve been testing out some new breads and veggie recipes.  I just can’t wait to start cooking!

I’m still sticking with my veggie plan, and I’ve got a great turkey-replacement for Thanksgiving dinner. I will be making turkey for the family, and all of the traditional trimmings, but the veggies are mine!

I love these vegan Kale & Quinoa bites! They are a perfect substitute, and amazingly tasty too. I grabbed a pack of them at the store this morning. I don’t want to be without them for Thanksgiving dinner.

Early Afternoon

The kids got out of school early today, so we headed out to pick up Halloween goodies. The tiny kids found costumes, and the big kid is skipping it this year. We filled the cart with pumpkins, decorations, and lots and lots of candy. I always go overboard when it comes to Halloween, but it is my very favorite holiday.

What about you… Is your home decorated, and your candy bowls filled with treats?

A Week Ago

Seriously?!? A week ago it was the Fourth of July.

This year we opted not to host, and it was a lot of fun. I got to spend more time with the kids (and my hubby too) and not as much time in the kitchen.

We had plenty of fireworks, and lots of yummy food.

We might just have to make this a tradition… and now I’m in trouble.

So It’s Your Birthday…

Well today is my little brother’s birthday. Even though he really isn’t little anymore, actually I think he has been taller since me every since we were kids. But what can I say, I love him more than the moon and the stars, and he really, truly is the most amazing person. He is an amazing artist, creative, kind, caring, and he has always been there for me through the good times and the tough ones too. He is an awesome Uncle, and seriously, the bestest brother ever! Happy Birthday Rob, we love you!

  • Improve my housekeeping skills
  • Spend wisely, and save for two vacations
  • Use my free time wisely

  • Post at least five blog posts weekly

Maybe I should add, become a morning person. I’m not feeling too awake just yet…
