Let's talk about food!

So...It's still hot here.

WAY too hot for  October. In October, it should be hinting about snowing,

 but I guess that's my, grew up in Denver bias.



(Seriously, we wore winter coats under our Halloween costumes 4 out of 5 times)

And this Indian Summer/blasted heatwave is totally throwing off my fall cooking groove.



I was hoping by now, I'd be baking loaves of pumpkin bread and lots of soup.

Instead, I'm throwing stuff together, like beanie-weenies and peas. That's a complete meal right??



Ryan has gotten into hummus lately and so far I'm liking the addiction. I wasn't a big fan at first, but it's growing on me. I'm dipping carrots and pita chips, any other suggestions?



I baked these breadsticks on Monday, and they were SO good. A lot like The Pizza Factory in Provo, UT. I spread garlic butter on them right out of the oven. I also subbed white sugar for the brown sugar and it worked just fine.



I love my breadmaker.



Not much going on here except for our Dr. appt horror story yesterday.



Zoe went to the Dr. yesterday and it was a total nightmare. She started crying before they even weighed her. Sigh, it was a long 2 hours. And to top it all off she fell asleep in my arms right before she had to get shots. I had to wake my adorable sleeping beauty, to get shots. Then after they gave her 3 shots,



she was crying saying, " I so sorry Mommy. I so sorry." Worst. Feeling. Ever.



Yeah, I started to cry as I was trying to tell her, the shots weren't a punishment.

The nurse cried too. I think she felt almost as bad as I did.

But Zoe was happy to go home, and while we were driving home,



she said, "You ok Mommy?"

to which I replied, "Yes Zoe, I'm Ok."

then she said, "You take a nap Mommy?"

I said, "Yes, Mommy will take a nap too."



And that's what we did. We came home, snuggled and took naps. Oh, and had pizza at Zoe's request.

She deserved it.



Hope you have a great weekend.



XOXO,

Holly & Co.
