The last of our blueberry harvest pies high on these Belgium waffles. 🧇 Parker asked for waffles this morning so I whipped up this super easy recipe on the blog (linked in stories). I didn’t have buttermilk on hand so just subbed in almond milk and threw in a smashed banana too. If you have flour, an egg, milk and butter/oil you can make these too in less than 5 mins. Topped w bloobs, obvi. Pancakes, Waffles, Gluten Free, Gluten Free Waffles, Waffles Recipe Homemade, Homemade Waffles, Waffle Recipes, Homemade Waffle Mix

If you need easy “pantry staple” comfort food recipe look no further than this tasty chicken pot pie recipe from @pinchofyum. The boys helped me make the “soup” and biscuits. It was a fun little recipe using ingredients we had on hand— including canned peas and homemade chicken stock. The biscuit recipe is really simple and for sure impressed the hubs. #quarentinelife #chickenpotpie #biscuits #pantrystaples #cookingathome Chicken, Pie, Biscuits, Homemade Chicken Stock, Tasty Chicken Pot Pie Recipe, Chicken Pot Pie, Chicken Pot Pie Recipes

Felt like having my oatmeal in a different form this morning. 😋 Made @kellyjonesrd’s PB Banana Bites this morning which is normally everything I put in my bowl of oats in energy ball form. Keeping them in the fridge for a cool snack or breakfast this week. Dessert, Oats

Since everyone’s posting their daily work from home/ homeschooling schedules I figured I’d share ours.  I have toddlers so that takes a little pressure off with the “homeschooling” (PTL), but we are trying to do something structured every day like practicing the letters in our names or playing with play dough or making muffins.  But mostly we are taking long walks and staying outside as much as we can because fresh air is good for the soul and TBH wide open spaces drowns out the fussing and cryi Play, Home Schooling, Homeschooling, Homeschool Schedule, To Do List, Get Outside, Something To Do

Stuffed pepper “nachos” with a heavy avo cream drizzle 🙌  This lower carb veggie packed dish satisfies with a blend of beef and mushrooms.

Decisions decisions. When we decided to buy our #fixerupper we thought we’d just stay in our townhouse, demo everything and move in when it was “ready” and all glammed up.  Boy am I glad we went for it and moved straight in... carpet glue stained terrazzo floors and all. We’ve changed our mind so many times as we’ve lived and hosted in this space.
