I’m a sucker for baby in a pumpkin pictures! I have a picture from when our oldest was a newborn and it’s one of my favorites. My brother is a master gardener and he grew some HUGE pumpkins this year. He gave us this little jewel to play around with, but there were much …
This is a super simple recipe that I made that we call “Spicy Casserole.” It’s not overwhelmingly spicy, but you can adjust the spiciness to fit your family’s taste. (I used blue corn/flaxseed chips on top for an extra crunch!)
Captain Fussybuckets will turn 3 on November 1st. We’re going to have a small, family birthday party on that following Saturday, I believe.
