How can summer be over already? I can hardly believe how fast it went! The kids have said goodbye to late nights, lazy mornings, and long days with nothing to do but play and whine about being bored. Last week, we greeted the return of early bedtimes, morning alarms, back-packs full of school supplies, and of course, packed lunches. Ah, the…

40 Grab-and-Go Breakfasts for Busy School Mornings
Over the past week, I’ve been sharing some fun ideas for portable breakfasts that you can easily grab on your way out the door to school, daycare, and/or work. September is a busy month for many of us, with school and various activities starting up again. Getting back into a routine can be challenging, so…
Apple Pumpkin Snack Cake
My boys are like eating machines lately. They pack huge lunches, but still come home from school ravenous, searching through the cupboards for something good to fill their tummies. They don’t mind snacking on fresh fruits and vegetables, but they really love baked goods like granola bars, cookies, muffins, and snack cake. I don’t have much time during the week to…
Pumpkin Molasses Bundt Cake with Lemon Vanilla Caramel Sauce
I have a confession…. I suck at making pies. There. I said it. It wouldn’t be so embarrassing if I didn’t come from a family in which everyone seems to be gifted in the art of pie-making. I must have missed out on that special gene somehow. I also find that because I’m a food blogger, people expect…
Butternut Squash, Yam & Chicken Soup
Now that fall is here, I think it’s time for a soup recipe. I had some leftover chicken and fresh thyme from the Roast Chicken recipe I posted recently. There’s always an ample supply of butternut squash and yams this time of year, so I added those ingredients to the soup as well. I threw a few…

As a child, I always looked forward to Saturday mornings, because those were the special mornings when my dad would make us pancakes. Every Saturday morning without fail, my dad got up early with us while…
Butternut Squash and Bacon Penne
With all the sweets and rich food we’ve enjoyed over the holidays now behind us and a fresh new year ahead of us, it’s a good time to start eating lighter foods. It’s not always easy to make that transition, but this pasta can help. It tastes so good that you’ll think it should be…
Pumpkin Banana Loaf
You know what I never realized? Pumpkin and bananas go so well together! I made these amazing Pumpkin Banana Muffins from Alida’s kitchen and my family practically inhaled them. They were that good! I made them a few times, and then decided to change things up a bit and turn it into a loaf. I…
Slow Cooker Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup
When the weather gets colder, I start to crave soup. There’s nothing better than a warm belly full of soup on a blustery day. I love making soup in the slow cooker earlier in the day so we can come home after being out in the cold to the comforting aroma of soup and dig…
