Thanksgiving Leftovers
If you’re anything like my family you’re starting to get sick of the thanksgiving leftovers by the end of Thanksgiving weekend. We all love it and are so lucky to have all this food but it gets a little boring after a few days. Instead of wasting all of it though we are sharing some recipes that we’re using to use up some of the leftover-leftovers! First up is… Spicy Turkey Pasta I used two bags of pasta (we’ve got a lot of people to feed over here) but just make enough pasta to feed your crew – the extra sauce will only add to the flavor.

Living Waste Free: Steps in a Long Journey
So as you may have read in my last post by no means are we a waste free household. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE the idea and think there’s some amazing stuff out there, but with three under two it’s just not feasible or realistic for me right now.

Cooking at 1 & 1/2 – Crackers!
I’m always trying to think of fun, creative and different things I can do with my kids (if only so I don’t kill myself when I hear the dinosuar song one more time). But finding something that’s quick, easy enough for my not quite 2 year old and won’t take me the rest of the day to clean up can be tough. My son and I get our special time during his sisters morning nap so we always try to do something fun – just us. Although some days it’s definitely laundry. Usually it’s coloring because I’m just not that creative, but today I decided there’s only so much coloring…
