Our day of yes was inspired by the Capri Sun Refreshers available at Walmart. They are a blend of fruit juice and filtered water mix of juice and filtered water making saying “yes” to my kids enjoying them super easy. There are no artificial colors, preservatives, or flavors and they have no added sugar either. Plus, it takes away the mixing that I was already doing with their juice. Finding them our local Walmart was simple too. Our current favorite is the Capri Sun Refreshers Awesomely Apple.
As a parent, I often have to say “no” a ton when it comes to my kids. They frequently want to do things that don’t work in our schedule, I don’t think are a great idea or just can’t happen for some reason or another. But, while my husband has been away, I’ve had to tell my daughter no more times that I like just because I was solo parenting both kids and working so I just couldn’t make things happen. To reward her for being so amazing during that time, I decided we would have a day of yes which included eating caramel apple donut fries for dinner.

Ok, we’ve totally talked before about how our hectic schedule leads us to take out way more than I’d like to admit. Plus, I just can’t resist the Asian mixed vegetables that I order. Well, we’ve been trying to drastically cut down on how often we order out so I’ve been making Asian mixed vegetables at home and loving it.

With Thanksgiving next week, my brain is already filled with planning our annual holiday party. This will be our 15th year hosting one together and it is my absolute favorite party of the year. Of course, the food has to be perfect so I start planning well in advance. Delicious dips are a must but so are fun dipping options like mini hasselback potatoes.

Each year, we host Thanksgiving at our house for family. I spend the first weeks of November scouring over recipes we’ve used in the past and searching for some new ones to potentially add into the mix. One thing I never look for: Thanksgiving dessert recipes. My mother in law always brings the most amazing Thanksgiving desserts so I’ve never had to make one. This year is going to be different though and so I’m on the hunt for the best Thanksgiving dessert recipes and figured I’d share my finds with you!

As we get closer to the holiday season, our schedule gets busier and busier and I find the time I have available to make dinner getting smaller and smaller. During these times, I definitely rely heavily on meal planning and also on using recipes, like this Pressure Cooker Swedish Salmon Potato Soup, that cooks easily without a lot of active cooking time or prep needed.

Ask me any day of the week what my favorite dessert is and the answer will always be cheesecake. You just can’t beat the creamy deliciousness of a cheesecake. Plus, the flavorings and toppings are endless making it is versatile. Last week, I made a salted caramel praline cheesecake that was out of this world so, of course, I have to share the recipe with you!

Seemingly overnight, our weather went from mild to practically freezing. While I love the cooler, fall temperatures, it is difficult to wake up to 40 degrees in the morning. The colder weather has my whole family craving warm, comfort foods like meatball minestrone more and more.

Thanksgiving and the holiday season are just around the corner. Each year, we host Thanksgiving for our family and I always love preparing for the big day. I like to build in some time to visit with everyone while all the little pieces of the Thanksgiving feast finish up. But, most people arrive hungry so I always have a few little bites out for everyone to enjoy while we chat. One of our favorites is Sriracha apricot bacon brie!

Saturday nights are usually all about take out for us. Between my daughter’s gymnastics running right up to dinner time and college football being on, we rarely want to go out and I don’t want to cook anything elaborate. But, as we near the holidays, we are also trying to limit eating out so much since it gets expensive. So, instead, I’ve been creating take-out style meals at home like this Asian cucumber salad.
