Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
The corner of Prichard and Cayuta Ave was right in the middle of our houses. Each of us came from a different direction, each from a different point of the triangle, so of course, that is where we would meet to walk to school together.

Hey everyone! This is Jenna from Wife in Progress back again, this time with some yummy Paleo Soups.
Once September hits and the air becomes crisper, I get an instant hankering for soup. I love to enjoy a warm, creamy bowl of soup while curled up on the couch. And just because I’m eating Paleo now doesn’t mean I will forego my creamy soup fix!
I have tried most of these soup recipes and loved ALL of them. It’s amazing what some vegetables and coconut cream can do!

Now that fall is approaching us, I have been whipping up lots of delicious ‘fall’ recipes. I was really excited to make this Apple & Gouda Grilled Cheese because not only is it reminiscent of fall, but I knew the Just Us Four Readers would love it!

Hello! Sometimes you have a regular old maple bathroom vanity and it works. It does its job of holding your tooth paste and hair brush and razor. But something may be missing, besides the mascara or toothbrush.
It’s missing a real personality. …
I’ve recently cut out all refined sugar from my diet. Once I set my mind to it (and saw the lbs start to drop off!) it was easier than I had initially thought. But, it’s summer, and I would still like to enjoy an ice cream every so often.
I’ve seen this recipe for 1 ingredient banana ice cream on Pinterest for a while now and have been dying to give it a try. I wasn’t sure that it would really taste like ice cream but BOY was I wrong! It’s also a great way to use up those over-ripe bananas…there’s only so much banana bread you can eat!
This couldn’t be easier to make: You want to use 4 or 5 over-ripe bananas (the browner they are, the sweeter the ice cream will be!).
Peel them and slice. Place the slices on a plate and freeze overnight. Then, all you have to do is blend them up in food processor/blender until thick and creamy!
Now, in the spirit of being sharing, I’m going to let you know that I froze my bananas whole with the skins still ON. Don’t do this, they are impossible to peel once they are frozen!! You could peel first, then freeze but I reckon slicing them up first would make the process a whole lot easier.
If you want to serve it right out of the blender, expect a “soft-serve” consistency. To make it a bit more solid, pop in a freezer-proof container and chill for at least 2 hours.
Who knew that pureed frozen bananas were so thick and creamy!? Honestly, if you love ice cream and bananas then you will adore this. It’s Paleo friendly, dairy free, (added) sugar free and a great guilt-free treat for both kids and adults alike. Feeling adventurous? Once you’ve mastered this version, don’t be afraid to experiment! I’m going to add almond butter to my next batch 🙂
I’m so glad that it’s time for me to share another cocktail recipe here on Just Us Four because this Plum Thyme Smash is so good it has to be shared! This drink was inspired by two of my favorite summertime events- a trip to our local orchard and my wedding anniversary.
I’ll get to how those two things resulted in the most delicious drink ever (hint, hint, it involves bourbon), but first let me introduce myself! I’m Christin, and by now you may know me as the monthly cocktail contributor here on Shannah’s blog. I’m also the cupcake baker, cocktail shaker, and picture taker behind the blog Blue Crab Martini. I’d love it if you stopped by to visit me sometime! You can follow my kitchen adventures on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter.
Last week we ventured out to the local U-pick orchard in search of summer’s finest peaches, but instead we came home with a big basket of plums! We were making our way through the endless rows of peach trees when we spotted them- trees so loaded with ripe, purple plums that their branches touched the ground. Of course we snagged some peaches, but plenty of these juicy treats made their way into our basket too!
Would you look at those ripe and juicy plums?! Yum!
It just so happens that the very next day was also my 9th wedding anniversary (I’m still trying to figure out how nine whole years have flown by, whew). It was the middle of the week and going out to eat wasn’t an option, so I decided to bring the restaurant to us instead! I went all fancy-pants to impress my hubby and made a three course meal complete with a corn chowder starter, a main dish with sweet potato grits and ancho chili grilled shrimp, and finished it off with homemade peach sorbet.
Just like any fine restaurant, our meal needed a special cocktail to marry all of the flavors together. Bourbon is one of my hubby’s favorites and since we had an abundance of fresh plums, I decided to combine the two and see what I could shake up.
This Plum Thyme Smash is a refreshing way to let summer linger on just a bit. You can use any variety of plums (I’ve tried it with two different varieties and both were equally tasty). Aside from the fresh plums and bourbon, there is another element that makes this drink so tasty- a homemade thyme infused simple syrup. The tangy plums mixed with herbal, fresh, earthy thyme makes for a truly unique flavor combination
Sipping on this Plum Thyme Smash made our anniversary extra sweet, and I hope you’ll share it with your special someone too! Cheers!
