Monday In Meals + I Had Food Poisoning

Image
Hi, guys! I feel like we haven’t talked in forever . Well, ok, not since Friday , but it felt strange not sharing a weekend recap with you. I apologize. We’re jamming over here in Designed to Fit land, so I was busy with that and then I got sick, like food poisoning sick. Ugh, it was awful. I’ve actually never had food poisoning, but I guess there’s a first for everything, right? The only “weird” thing I ate– that maybe could have made me sick– was bagged baby spinach. Nothing else was suspect and, thankfully, I’m the only one who ate it. Mal was out-to-dinner with friends, and Qman ate pizza, so it was just me… rolling around in bed, trying not to die, and then, a couple of hours later, swiftly walking to the bathroom to vomit . UGH, not fun. I hate throwing up so much. But, hey, once the evil was out, I was totally fine. I fell right to sleep and woke up the next morning feeling like a million bucks. So, there ya go: My first experience with food poiso...

Crock-Pot Black & White Pumpkin Chili

Guys, I’m so glad that fall is in full swing. I love everything about the season, especially the cool, crisp weather and beautiful foliage. And, of course, I love all of the comfort food and deliciousness that goes along with it. Now that we’re nearing the colder months of the year, it’s truly the perfect time to break out the crock-pot and make a big ol’ batch of chili. Am I right? And even better than traditional chili?  Pumpkin chili . Ooooh, yes. You know how I love all things pumpkin! And this recipe couldn’t be easier: Just set it and forget it! This Crock-Pot Black & White Pumpkin Chili combines the best of both worlds: Savory chili flavors with pumpkin, spice, and everything nice. Neither the chili or pumpkin is especially overpowering, but, instead, the two form a well-balanced, blended flavor. It’s definitely a fall-inspired meal that will fill you up and leave a smile on your face. I hope you love it as much as I do! Ingredients : ...

I am not above feeding my kid dinner foods for breakfast. He has gotten quite picky as of late and gets easily bored with breakfast if I make the same thing more than 3 times. So ya, breakfast is… Read more → from The Gracious Pantry http://ift.tt/2ez4GJE

Hi friends!! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was filled with lots of sunshine, soccer, and chili!! ‘Tis the season! On Friday night I went to my friends’ house for a gathering, and I had this great vegan sweet potato chili. Plus cheese plate deliciousness and a few glasses of vino. Saturday morning after breakfast I took Mazen to soccer practice. But first: toast, banana, PB, coffee. This was the first practice I had the chance to go to (Matt, rain, rain, travel covered the first month) and I was SO EXCITED to see how it went! Coach B had a whistle and the kids did really cute little drills. Mazen did great and followed directions! I was so tempted to step in and practice a little myself. Lord knows I need some help with my touches and dribbling 😉 The kiddos scrimmaged with another team at the end of practice, and Mazen was not into that at all. He doesn’t really understand the concept of opponents yet and why the other kids don’t share the ball. It’s quite cute. ...
