Happy #menumonday, friends! November is here and I’m so looking forward to it. The last couple of years, I’ve committed to participate in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), but this year, I’m taking a more relaxed approach. I still plan to work on my current work in progress, but am not making it a hugeContinue reading “Menu Monday 11.1.21”

Happy #menumonday, friends! We are heading into one of my favorite times of the year. From now until the end of January, there will be all sorts of goodies and celebrations and breaks from school, and birthdays! The next three months are traditionally some of the busiest ones of the year for our family, andContinue reading “Menu Monday 10.25.21”

Happy #menumonday, friends! By now, many of us have carved our pumpkins and visited the various pumpkin patches. We’ve traded our sundresses for boots and hats and scarves, and our gardens have been put to bed for the winter. It’s definitely got me thinking about our October traditions. Since my kids were small, October hasContinue reading “Menu Monday 10.18.21”

Happy #menumonday, friends! A friend of mine recently told me about how she didn’t grow up with traditions that are associated with food. While there are many ways to celebrate the change of seasons, and to mark the special moments in our lives that don’t revolve around food, I can say for sure that myContinue reading “Menu Monday 10.11.21”

Happy #menumonday, friends! Yesterday felt like fall in all the best ways. We grilled burgers for lunch, enjoyed a walk downtown in the fall sunshine, had soup for dinner, and watched a football game on TV. I wholeheartedly agree with L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables when she says, “I’m so glad I live inContinue reading “Menu Monday 10.4.21”

Happy #menumonday, friends! (I know, it’s Tuesday. I’m so, so sorry for not getting this up yesterday!!) I’m still struggling to find my writing routine groove. Here we are, already at the end of September. It’s hard to believe we are moving into October! We have fun in October around here, especially in the kitchen.Continue reading “Menu Monday 9.27.21”

Happy #menumonday, friends! It’s hard to believe we are already into the second half of September! This past week was very Fall-ish. We had some rainy weather, and spent most of the weekend cozied up with quilts and books or movies. We’ve even had to turn the heat on in the mornings.  This coming weekContinue reading “Menu Monday 9.20.21”

Happy #menumonday, friends! This will be our first full week of school, since last Monday was Labor Day. I’m settling back into the routines of Fall and looking forward to more Fall-ish dinners. Fresh roasted veggies are a wonderful addition to any Fall menu. And, as I mentioned last week, I’m planning to make soupContinue reading “Menu Monday 9.13.21”

Happy #menumonday, friends! I am so sorry for my absence last week. Monday was the first day back to work for me after a busy summer, and with the classroom preparations and professional development meetings, Menu Monday fell through the cracks. We sent our youngest off to England last Monday; she’ll be gone for aContinue reading “Menu Monday 9.6.21”
