We had the flu all weekend. It was the pits. And crawling out of the pits is kind of hard. Starting the week behind, feeling a little weak and sore, barely making it through Monday (acting quite the bear too! *sigh* Mommy is a grump when feeling ill), not having energy or patience for toddler […]
I think October may be my favorite month. (At least in this state.) The weather is finally tolerable, the grass is green again, and the leaves are starting to turn. My sweet honey is all excited for hunting season. And I am all excited because basketball season will be here soon. My favorite issues of […]
Last night we had the most wonderful tomato soup and so I wanted to pass along this recipe for your fall-cooking inspiration! I was inspired by perusing roasted tomato soups on foodgawker.com. It’s an amazing place to find recipes and there are lots of plant-based ideas, which I love. We are eating an 85% vegan […]

As Summer into Autumn slips And yet we sooner say “The Summer” than “the Autumn,” lest We turn the sun away… {emily dickinson} Isn’t this a glorious time of year? Each cool, crisp morning seems like such a surprise. The days are still long and summer-like, but cooler, more comfortable, and the shifting of the […]
Autumn at our house is a fresh venison meal made by the hunter himself It’s an evening spent on the porch with a fire and guitar, singing “Knowing You” together. It’s a fall piano-scape with flowers from the mother in law… It’s a sleepless night with a crying baby whose first tooth is arriving… And […]
It’s true. Lately I have been beyond obsessed with pumpkin. We’ve been eating it in soup, bread, even pureed with a bit of agave for the baby. I love my dear Aunt Mimi’s pumpkin bread. It’s a warm and happy memory of Thanksgivings spent with my Huston family – waking up early to work out […]
