Cozy Fall

As fall is settling in the boys and I have been keeping busy (while Mike is gone all day at the hospital).  Bored with our usual meals I tried out a few new recipes and some traditional ones.  The boys worked on their writing project - sending post cards home.  We also completed a small fall decorating project to welcome the season.

chocolate chip cookies of course



perfect after a rainy wet rugby practice

veggie tortellini soup


we also made banana bread, beef stew, and a baked veggie pasta primavera.  fall weather definitely brings out the cooking

letters home

muddy rugby boots - these have become a regular sight 2x a week






a bit of fall





we are soaking up fall as we missed it twice while living on the island

  1. Veggie tortellini soup - blimey - that sounds really delicious.....I love your Autumn garland by the way - I wonder if I can persuade the girls to create something as lovely.

    1. We made caramel apples the other day and it reminded me of a chat we had on the island about making our own caramel apples since we could not find any. I will email you the recipe!!!!! Enjoy the snuggly weather. Chey xo
