We are big fans over here of interactive play and helping our son feel included and able to participate in what we are doing as a family - and we are especially excited to have him be a part of cooking and baking and food prep in the future! I have wanted to get one of these toddler kitchen towers for a long time, but often could not justify the price for the beautiful wooden ones that I would see all over Instagram. So I was very excited when a friend posted about one that she got as a gift for a much more reasonable cost.

I do believe that fall is easily my favorite season! And whenever that cooler fall weather hits, all I can think about is pumpkin… everything! Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin bagels, pumpkin spice donuts, and pumpkin funnel cake (yes, pumpkin funnel cakes are a thing!). So naturally, as I was thinking about making muffins, I had to look for a pumpkin muffin recipe!
Read MoreUsing Trello for Meal Planning

I know there are many methods for meal planning that include paper or whiteboard that will work great for many people… but it’s just not long-lasting for me. I need something digital. And this is where Trello is a dream meal planning organizer for me! I like to think of it as my digital recipe box… I can have lots of recipe cards (with all kinds of labels or listed in all sorts of categories), including links to the recipe source if it’s something I found online, added photos of what the meal is “supposed” to look like, and even leave notes for myself in comment form after I have made that recipe and want to remember something that I did differently or a comment that my husband or kids have made about that meal.

For me, banana bread is usually the result of having a few bananas that I never got around to eating while they were fresh... so the over-ripened bananas become a heavenly-scented weekend treat!

Soups are one of my absolute favorite meals to make ... there is so much room for variety and flavor. Not to mention they are great for freezing and enjoying later down the road!
