Just in time for cozy weather, my Hot Chocolatada Mix is now part of the beverage station at @firelightcamps! I like to add a spoonful into my coffee for a campfire mocha ☕️. The recipe is in my cookbook #feastbyfirelight, and this is how I would pack it for a picturesque campout with friends, or in ziplocks for light camping. Don’t forget the tiny marshmallows (you can dice my Heavenly Vanilla Marshmallows) and cinnamon OR peppermint sticks. YUM! 🍫🔥
So happy my Apple Harvest Campfire Crisp from #FeastByFirelight got dished up tonight for @skinnytaste’s cookbook release retreat at @firelightcamps! I hope it was a sweet ending to a menu of Gina’s newest, amazing recipes in #skinnytasteoneanddone! (The secret ingredients are polenta for an extra crunchy topping and lemon zest 🌽🍋! Since I’m in newborn land still, I have to thank @serendipitycatering for actually whipping it up 🙏.)⠀ ⠀ I have a version of this recipe in my FREE Cast Iron Care & Cooking e-book (link in profile ☝️), which is the perfect compliment to my cookbook! // #skinnytastefunanddone
I’m thrilled to be welcoming @skinnytaste and an incredible roster of inspiring food bloggers to @firelightcamps this week, in celebration of Gina releasing her latest cookbook #skinnytasteoneanddone. 🤗⠀ ⠀ I’m especially excited for the group to try the Apple Harvest Crisp and Molten Lava Campfire Brownies from #FeastByFirelight at tomorrow’s cookout! 🍎🔥🍫⠀ ⠀ Follow #skinnytastefunanddone and @firelightcamps this week for stories from their foodie glamping retreat. ⛺️🍁 // Pic by @kaylynleighton and @joe_sinthavong of @shotbyseamless
It’s Brussels sprouts season!!! 🌱 One of my all-time favorite recipes is Bacony Brussels Sprouts with Pecans & Cranberries (you can find it on my blog!). You can leave out the 🥓 if you prefer, but don’t skip the maple syrup! 🍁 // Pics by @ausavage
Cora’s 1 month old and we’re all going into the weekend with full 💜’s. (Photo by @alicecrain)
Our sweet two year old girl is just recovering from being very sick! 🤒 ⠀ ⠀ When you’re child is sick, it puts everything into perspective. Every part of my body and soul ached to make her feel better, while also aching from sleepless nights and cradling two babies. I was also worried for her newborn sister, who’s lungs are so tiny. I know this experience was meant to teach me something, or many things: that sh*t gets real, fast, with two kids (or more); not to sweat the small stuff and appreciate - absorb! - our children; as parents, when tested, we discover our energy reserves are deeper than we know... ⠀ ⠀ And then of course today, a new day solo Mamma-ing with a near-healthy toddler and newborn, I fell back into habits of frustration when things went awry: accidents on the floor, small tantrums or defiant moments. I tried to remind myself to breathe and stay calm, and how just yesterday when Ayla had no voice to even cry, I would have been ecstatic to have a fiercely independent toddler shout at me 😂. ⠀ ⠀ I took the girls to our favorite swimming hole; I’d been wanting to see how the leaves had changed since the day before Cora’s birth, my last visit there. Without being able to swim, Ayla’s attention span for throwing rocks into the water was limited. So I kept encouraging her to go for a walk on the trail with me, while she insisted I sit on the bench with her. I found myself also getting annoyed because Cora had fallen asleep in the @boba wrap and I wanted to keep moving.⠀ ⠀ “No, sit Mamma!” Ayla insisted. ⠀ ⠀ So I did.⠀ ⠀ And suddenly the woods came alive. The sun popped out between the clouds shining right down on the three of us, and the reflection on the river threw ripples on the cavernous gorge, like the walls of an aquarium. The waterfall across the river also caught sun rays, casting rainbows in the air. It was simply magical and I would have missed it without Ayla’s reminder to stay present and be still. Just for a little bit. 🍂🌈🌤⠀ ⠀ There is nothing more important than being present with my children, and I thank them for reminding me of this simple message every day. Even if it means that sometimes I’m sleep deprived 🤪❤️.⠀
Name this quintessential campfire snack... GO! (Hint: 🐽🔥) // Pic by @ausavage
Trying to chill as hard and cute as this little beanpod for a fall weekend? ⠀ Then head over to @firelightcamps and check out the most recent post for a super duper WEEKEND special this October, which includes a discounted, leaf-peeping #glamping stay and a whole shebang of goodies like our homemade s’mores kits, locally-made hard cider and other delicious #firelightcamps glamping essentials! (We rarely have open weekends!) ⛺️🔥🍂
This is how I felt today when it suddenly dawned on me that I can have a beer again! 🍺⠀ ⠀ I’m actually in the camp that believes a few small glasses of wine here and there are ok while pregnant - surely a result of my Italian blood. 🇮🇹 Though during this last pregnancy, I didn’t really have a hankering for any booze. But my pre-prego appetite and thirst is returning and a cold, craft brew is very appealing. And brownies. ⠀ ⠀ I’m curious, what do you think about alcohol (in extreme moderation) during pregnancy?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Pic by @ausavage
