October is one of my favs to finally feel fall in the air and so many fun things. We picked apples and the kids dressed up for Halloween several times already before the actual holiday.
I made a Street Corn Burrito with brown rice, white beans, Mexican corn, greens, and corn chips!
Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls got a refresh from 2016 and the TikTok way of baking them in cream cannot be beat.
We devoured this Caramel Apple Chex Mix with peanuts, dried apples, and caramel chips!
November’s darkness means we need to hunker down with some comfort food and maybe add some some soup to the menu. We’re dog sitting and have a few more lined up.
The Big Kid:
5th grade homework is no joke. It doesn’t take him long at all, but it is definitely more substantial. He is having fun in hockey and lacrosse clinics. He decided it’s hockey, not basketball for him. We love seeing him bike around and meet up with the neighborhood.
The Littler One:
She’s an all-star speller, which she did not get from me. She looooves field hockey and wished it wasn’t ending but with that end brings her back to dance class.
Goals for this upcoming year:
Year of replacements/upgrades! I kind of skipped this month.
Restaurant Recreations –
Special ingredient focus – T saw Frito Chili Pie on the back of the package and wanted to have it – he loved it!
More fish – we did our tried and true, fish tacos.
What I’m reading – I read The Last Ferry Out which was entertaining enough, and then I was blown away by All You Have to Do is Call which was one of my top books of the year, for bookclub we read The Cliffs and I can’t wait to talk about it.
