Fall Recipes: Butternut Squash Risotto
I know I cannot get over how quickly October has blown by!It really makes me upset that I didn’t take the kids to more fall activities but I guess there is always next year. But, I am excited to share that fall recipes are officially arriving in my house and I can’t get enough. The cooler temps keeps me looking for easy soups, chilis and recipes involving my root veggies.

Meals Made Easy By 212 Meals
Words cannot express my extreme gratitude for everyone that has brought us food after Mercy was born. I’ve seen such a large out pour of kindness during this time. It has really blown me away at how attentive our friends and family have been and I couldn’t be more grateful. We really haven’t had to cook much in the past 11 days and I am relieved because I’m not supposed to be up and moving around that much. Last week, I received a message from the owner of 212 Meals and it had me in tears. They wanted to gift us a week of food to enjoy. I honestly…

My Chicken and “Rice” Recipe and Non Toxic Cookware Guide
One thing I’ve learned after starting my family is that finding good recipes that don’t take several hours to make is really important.

I am with the kids 24/7 and even though Derrek is more than hands on when he is home,…
