I’ll be making these Pumpkin Pecan Pie Squares over the weekend. So good!
You know how I love cooking, love grocery shopping, love all things food? This weekend, I got a break from all of it, and it was…great! Yep, as much as I love cooking for people, I do appreciate a break sometimes. How about that? ;)
What a fabulous weekend I’ve had! I’ll tell you all about it on Gratituesday, but wow am I refreshed. Matt held down the fort (doing all the cooking with the boys’ help) while I went to a conference. Then today, we had a potluck after church, for which I had prepared food ahead of time. Tonight, the teen Bible study is at someone else’s house, so I’ll just show up and eat. Nice!
Tomorrow, I’ll be cooking again, and I look forward to it. I plan to make another big batch of applesauce this week, plus we’re having a houseful of company over the weekend. Super fun!

You will love this!
I, too, love cooking for and feeding my family healthy, nourishing meals, but we all need a break once in awhile. After I’ve had a break, I come back feeling refreshed with new energy. It’s wonderful. I’m glad you got a break, Laura. Those apples look incredible – can’t wait! Thanks.
