Friday Favorites October 11, 2024: Pumpkin Spice Edition
Friday, October 11, 2024
I am going to switch gears and move to Friday Favorites. It is ok to take a moment to focus on things that bring us Joy and levity even when times are challenging. Since there is no denying now that we are in full pumpkin spice season, I am sharing with you my favorite pumpkin spice items and not all of them are food items. Join me today as I link up with Erika and Andrea for Friday Favorites-Pumpkin Spice Edition!
1. Trader Joe's Pumpkin Bread Mix
If you have spent any time on this site over the last few years you know that I am not a big baker. Baking can be tough when you are gluten-free but I have definitely figured out my go-to recipes and mixes. Trader Joe's makes an amazing pumpkin bread mix that comes in regular and gluten free. It is so Good that honestly, there is no reason in my mind to make it from scratch.
Monthly Musings-September 2024: Back-to-School Routines, Recipes and Fall Fashion
Thursday, September 26, 2024
Here we are on the last Thursday of September. Did September fly by for anyone else? For September's Monthly Musings it is basically a buffet of early fall topics. Holly and I want to share what is working for back-to-school routines now that people have been settled in for a bit, favorite fall recipes, food and all of the fall fun. Join us for our link-up party that we host with a group of other talented writers for all of the goodness that fall brings. It's finally here!
1. What are your Best tips for getting into a fall/back-to-school routine?
As an official bird launcher, my back-to-school days are over or have taken a new look. The one thing that I will share is that for the first month or so is to be easy and flexible. Make dinner easy, don't pile on too many activities and understand, that everyone will be really tired!
What's Up Wednesday: September 2024
Wednesday, September 25, 2024September is just rolling along here Besties! Does anyone else feel the same way? This has been a Good month so far and it is finally starting to feel like fall around here. As this is the last Wednesday of the month, I am linking up with Shay and Shaeffer for What's Up Wednesday. Let's get ready to chat all things September!
What We're Eating This Week
Things in the menu planning department are relaxing a lot lately in the Good Better Best household now that it is just Running Daddy and me at home. Because it is just the two of us, traffic is terrible lately and we are about five weeks away from the election, I am trying to make our dinners for two as simple as possible.
Monday-Eggroll in a Bowl
Sidenote, I am not sure what I did when I made it this time, but it didn't turn out like it normally does. Do any of you have night like this? You make a recipe about 100 times and one night you just can't get the seasoning right?
Tuesday-Pizza meatballs with salad
Wednesday-Hawaiian meatballs in the crockpot with salad
Yes, we are having two different kinds of meatballs with salad, two days in a row this week. I may make a little brown rice with this if I am feeling adventurous.
Thursday-Roasted shrimp with veggies and rice
Friday-Definitely takeout of some kind
What I am Reminiscing About
I am actually not feeling very sentimental right now. I am working hard to live in the moment and enjoy this season we are in. I have been thinking a little bit about this time last year when we were so focused on college applications and that Hockey Guy ended up exactly where he needed to be.
