Random Things: October

We are in full fall mode over here with pumpkins on the stoop and soup in the slow cooker at all times. If you haven't made the sweet potato soup I posted last week, I highly recommend you get right on that!

I can't believe I'm currently typing out these words, but I also started to get the ball rolling on my 2024 holiday gift guide which is always a giant undertaking but one of my favorite projects of the year.

Slow Cooker Sweet Potato, Sausage, and Kale Soup

We had a huge bunch of sweet potatoes from our garden (a few pictured above!) and given that it's soup season, I wanted to make something really rich and creamy with them... but also healthy. This soup hit the spot with lots of flavor and nutrients and color and all the things you want in a fall soup dinner.

Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken with Carrots & Potatoes

A weeknight dinner that you can throw in the slow cooker in the morning and not think about for the rest of the day is my kind of jam. A hint of sweetness from the honey with the earthiness of the garlic in this dish is *chef's kiss* I promise you! I made this again last week and forgot just how great it is.

Life Lately: Volume 117

Happy Friday! We have a fun weekend planned full of exciting events like an 80s-themed 40th birthday party, a monster truck show (for Luca) and an American Girl Doll salon appointment (for Amalia), and more, if you can believe it.

I don't have anything too excited to report on this week. I just put my head down and banged out weeks' worth of work that I was behind on for clients and for me.
