I spent the Fall learning some healthier eating habits, mainly how to get more vegetables into my belly. One way was that every other weekend I'd make what I was calling #junkstew, which is basically a pile of all the veggies I could find in a pot with onions, carrots, ground turkey, tomato sauce, broth, and beans. It was delicious and different every time. Butternut squash, cauliflower, peppers, turnips, okra, all kinds of greens, whatever was at the market. Then I'd snack on it throughout the week instead of chips or canned soups. Easy and filling. And, bonus!, the kid loved it, too. Is it #chili? Reminds me of #Brunswickstew. Come Summer I'll try blending it all and serving it cold as #gazpacho. #uglydelicious #justeatit #feedthosegutbuggies
Looking back on some of my favorite homecooked meals of late 2018. This was on one of the few cold(ish) weekends we had in Tally. #pulledbeef over #risotto, with some vegetable heft cooked in. The type of food that warms your bones. #chillyweatherfood #willdefmakeitagain #risotto4life

It's pumpkin day! Just so I remember this later, the big'n wanted nothing to do with pumpkin guts last year, but this year she loved it! The littl'n, otoh, hated the bath much more than the pumpkin. #funbeingmessy #obligatorypumpkinbaby #zoeisnotamused
Beautiful day grabbing some pumpkins with the kiddos! #pumpkinchoosingisharderthanitlooks #thesekidsarealwayssmiling #slowdown
Moments like this are worth stopping for. #twoteeth #babysmiles #adorable
