Fall food!

This right here is how PARENTS OF THE DAMN YEAR subdue the wild 2-year-old beast at hockey

 Doesn't she look wild?

 OMG I love coming upon evidence of her increasingly involved imaginary play.

 Holy shit you guys!  He totally made this all by himself!

 And the CUTEST thing about Halloween was his little name that he wrote on the back of his little pumpkin.  He and Harry were the only 2 kids who wrote their own.  (Jack had no interest and Dorothy's illiterate).

 This is the kind of trouble Beatrix makes ALL DAY LONG:

I was like so totally domestic yesterday. I roasted a 7-pound turkey breast to make sandwiches since we are swearing off of processed meats. I made some more granola bars (this recipe only no cinnamon, chocolate chips instead of raisins, and a handful of shredded coconut and a huge glob of peanut butter).  And!  Last night we had pizza meatball sliders in the crockpot with leftover spaghetti sauce from the garden that I have stashed in both freezers-- so, so delicious.  It's an embarrassment of leftover riches in our fridge, and I am not tempted to stuff everyone full of total crap food on hockey nights-- which is good because hockey nights are EVERY NIGHT.  I even got the stuff to make chicken and noodles mid-week to replenish the easy dinners and use up the bounty of CSA potatoes we still have because I love chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes.  Fall food!  My very favorite.
