it's not just your kids readjusting

Hey friend, It's been a few weeks since you've heard from me. Minnesota summer will do that. We do it big here because it's so short, loose bedtimes, staying up late just because the light's still out, everyone a little feral in the best way. Now fall's creeping in and everyone's digging back into some kind of rhythm. My daughter's a teacher, so she's back in her classroom. My son's back to his own work routine. And after being the oldest of ten and around kids and teen programming my whole life, I feel every family's version of this shift, even though my own kids are grown. It's not just the kids relearning bedtime. It's all of us. So consider this me, doing the same thing. Digging back in. Starting with something that felt like the right way back into your kitchen. Meet the apple pie donuts I can't stop making. Warm, cozy, simple, and all the comfort words. While I'm thinking about the season turning: if your garden's still handing you more zucchini or cucumbers than you know what to do with (mine always does), here are three ways to use it all up before the frost gets it first. Quick & Easy Pickled Veggies: onions, radishes, cucumbers, whatever you've got, ready in under an hour, no canning required. Zucchini Bars with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting: the sweet way to use up those extra zucchinis. Vegetable Zoodle Soup: the savory way, and it freezes beautifully for later. Tell me, what's still coming out of your garden right now? Hit reply, I read every one. xo Nellie |

For the complete recipe and video you'll want to head on over to THIS POST for your weekend baking. Many puff pastry recipes feel complicated.

My nephew is just entering his Harry Potter era right now. Wands, Hogwart's Express, all of it. And every time I picture throwing him a wizarding birthday party, I think of my sister. She would love to give him that party. She does not have the time, or honestly the energy, to plan one from scratch. That's the problem with kid's parties sometimes, isn't it. Somewhere along the way, a good party stopped meaning "the kids had fun" and started meaning "did it look like something off Pinterest."...
The wizarding Halloween party you've been picturing for your kid? It's ready. I already did the planning. The Wizarding Party Kit is live today, right as spooky season starts ramping up, so you've got plenty of time to get it printed and pulled together before the big night. Decor, games, and recipes, all wizard themed, all print at home, all figured out for you already. The recipes turn part of the party into a real cooking activity for the kids, not just a backdrop, which came straight out...
