Hi you guys! It’s already October – that’s just crazy! The month of September flew by so fast, it felt like I blinked my eyes and it was over. With that said, I’m so excited to dive into the fall season and start whipping up some cozy, comforting recipes. Summer always used to be my favorite season, but lately, fall has taken the top spot. There’s just something about the crisp, cooler weather—especially now that I’m chasing a toddler around. It’s way more enjoyable in the 60s than in the scorching 80s or 90s. Plus, fall means football season!
In terms of life updates, my oldest daughter and her adoptive family came to visit this past weekend. It’s always so special watching her and Ava interact, especially since Ava changes so much between visits. They also brought us a lovely care package from one of their local orchards in Wisconsin, which included a beer brewed with their apples, fresh apples, and pickled beets! If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know how much I love beets. I’m so excited to whip up some fall recipes featuring them!
This weekend, we’ve got family photos scheduled, and I couldn’t be more excited. I never did maternity photos while I was pregnant, and when I look through my pictures, I realize I have so few of all three of us together so I’m super excited for that.
Other than that, we have so many things planned for October so it’s going to be a busy month but I am looking forward to it and can’t wait to share more with you.
Now onto today’s recipe, BBQ chicken meatballs! This recipe is so easy to throw together during the week and also reheats great in case there are leftovers but I’m guessing there won’t be, they are so good! As always, the best part about it is Ava has given her stamp of approval. I feel like you cannot go wrong with meatballs with a toddler and it’s easy to add in hidden veggies if you like.
That’s all I’ve got for you today. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and as always, let me know how you love this recipe!
Stay hungry my friends!
Can’t wait to try these- they look so good!!! Excited you are getting some family photos done too, how fun! Enjoy your weekend! 🫶🏼
