Local Produce
I'm a big fan of "The Produce Box". It's a box of locally grown produce, delivered once a week.
It's inspired me to cook - and eat - a bit more healthy.
In the last few weeks, I've made:
Coleslaw (with cabbage, kale, apples, onion, broccoli, and blueberries)
Apple Pie (it's cooking now, and my house smells amazing!)
Flavored Water aka "Spa" water to one friend (Blueberry/rosemary and lime/cucumber)
Butternut Squash Soup
Roasted Veggie medley (Zuchhini, Cabbage, sweet potato, tomato, onion, corn)
Those are just the dishes that come to mind.
Somehow - I've also become the seed roasting queen in the last several weeks!
Acorn, Butternut Squash, Spaghetti Squash and pumpkin seeds- done in a savory, hot, plain, and/or sweet combinations. Crazy! I like all the seeds about equally (and have added them to my homemade granola) but my favorite flavor combination is Worcestershire and garlic salt. I even had to buy a new jar of the Worcestershire!
The produce box will soon come to an end... at least for the season... but before it does, I hope to find a few new recipes as well as just enjoy the last of the awesome seasonal flavors. I see a sweet potato dish in my future...

Lovin' Life..
As this weekend comes to a close, I'm inspired to blog for a change!
Busy, busy weekend - - mostly because of cleaning to have some friends over!
But now that the weekend comes to a close...
The kids are fed, bathed, and having sweet dreams all cozy and snug in their beds.
The house is clean and quiet, the laundry is done (woah!), and even the dog is peaceful in her spot.
And all of this leaves me thankful for a wonderful husband and life partner.
To sum it up, I'm lovin' life.
As our super-busy October winds down, it's time to settle in to see what the rest of the year has in store for us!
If I had a glass of wine, a bottle of beer, or even a cup of water - I'd lift it to say, "Cheers!" - to Life!
