Towler Life

Wednesday, September 24, 2014

Owen is 8 weeks old today!  It's been a "sunny" week full of good naps, happy wake time, library trips, and strolls in this beautiful fall weather.

Still enjoying tummy time-  getting stronger each day!

Really discovered his hands-  can hardly keep the left one out of his mouth during all waking hours.

LOVES books!

So we visited the library to check out some exciting new things.

Bundled up for a stroll in the 60 degree weather-  ahhhh fall!

Bonus!  Sunny weeks mean Mama gets things done-  check out some of the yummy recipes I've whipped up around here lately...

Spicy Sausage, Kale, and Potato Soup- I used about 3 tablespoons of Neufchatel cheese instead of heavy cream since it's what we had on hand.  This was a great way to kick off the first day of autumn.  Delish.

Chewy Oatmeal Craisin Cookies- nice twist on oatmeal raisin since we only had craisins in the pantry.

Crispy Sweet Potato Chips-  these are THE BEST sweet potato chips, just like out of the Terra bag from the grocery.  We love these and have been making them all the time lately.  Just be sure you get started in enough time (they take 2 hours on very low heat in the oven).  Soooo good!

Peanut Butter Granola Balls- these were a nice change from the typical cookies I make.  I used the Chex cereal we already had instead of Rice Crispies and it was a perfect substitution.  Dan loved them!

And for tonight-  I'm testing out this One-Pan Pasta from none other than my Martha Stewart.  We did just score some home grown produce from our neighbor, Lazlow, who stopped us on a walk the other night and started pouring cherry tomatoes into the stroller basket...


plus we just planted some new basil.  This should be a nice and simple meal to bring our rainy Wednesday to a close:)
