October is Here!

Saturday, September 30

Last day of September!  We are having a more relaxing weekend.  Eric's back/sciatica is flaring up and he needs rest.  I drove him to the chiropractor for a visit.  They were having a special weekend so we both got adjusted and it was a free visit. :)

I was also able to finally sell the dining room table that came with our house.  I was glad to get that gone and out of the way!  I did some cleaning and some other little things around the house.

I made pierogi casserole - and tried a new recipe.  I wasn't super impressed so I probably won't make that again.  I also made zucchini-onion pie which is so good!  I realized I have never shared this recipe so I posted it yesterday.

Autumn changed up her room.

Sunday, October 1

Happy first day of October!  I think this day should be celebrated - I love October!  Autumn and I had our small group and then church.  After church, we made a few stops on the way home.  Burlington, Home Depot, Goodwill, Ross and Big Lots.  We are looking for a large area rug for our living room.  

I made rustic Italian tortellini soup for lunch with grilled cheese.  After that, I just didn't have much energy.  I finished my menu and grocery list and relaxed.  I read some more of my book and then the girls and I had hot cocoa outside.  There was a nice breeze and it felt a little like a fall evening.

I hope you had a nice weekend as well!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
