I have been sick for exactly one week now. Somedays I think YES! I’m getting better! and then it takes a downturn again. Currently I seem to have lost some hearing on my right side, which is quite an interesting effect. To make myself feel a little better, I’ve been browsing your recipes, and pulled four to feature this week that speak total comfort to me.
Whether you’re sick too, or just ready for good fall comfort recipes, enjoy these features!

Oh so many good recipes were shared last week. I finally narrowed it down to some Halloween goodies to feature for you. I’ve pulled my minimal Halloween decor out this week, and the kids are raving about our Family Costume idea. We’re going as the emotions from Inside Out. Since there’s 6 of us though, and only 5 emotions I’ll be dressing up as Bing Bong. I’m pretty stoked about how it’s coming together, and can’t wait to show you later this month.

I hope you’ve all had a fantastic week! I’m looking forward to browsing your recipes as I make this next week’s menu plan.

Fall is here ya’ll! Autumn is my favorite season of all! The leaves change color, the weather is a perfect blend of cool and warm. You can still play outside, then cuddle up under a blanket with a cup of cocoa or a bowl of soup to warm up in the evenings. The first day of fall was on Wednesday, and that has me all kinds of happy! So this week, enjoy the fall flavors.

Does it feel like the week flies by to anyone else? I feel as if I just wrote up our 50th Weekend Bites party, but here we are again! It’s been a fun week around here. I shared one of our favorite treats – frozen FROZEN grapes – and also a morning printable sure to put a smile on anyone’s face. There are lots of projects being cooked up around here, and I can’t wait to share them with you! Some are food related, but many are home decor. I’ve got a patio table makeover coming, a homework station, and family travel map! However, I can’t get to all these projects without some good food from you all. So here’s what caught my eye and will be heading to my menu this month.

Apple Cherry & Almond Breakfast Smoothie

WOW!! 50 weekends of sharing good food with all of you! I’m feeling nostalgic, so let’s take a little look back. Almost 4 years ago, in January of 2012 Diane from Simple Living and Eating joined with me as we started the weekly Foodie Friday hop.

remember this?

After a fantastic 3 year run, we decided to change the name to Weekend Bites. Shortly after the name change Diane left as my co-host to pursue other interests. I debated shutting down our weekly party, but decided to reach out to a fairly new blogger, Debi from Practical Parenting Ideas. She was immediately on board, and has brought a lot to the behind the scenes of this party. In fact, her newest idea you may have already seen – Instagram Features! We will now be taking the features and sharing them with our instagram followers, giving you 2x the love! Woot Woot!

While Weekend Bites has only been going for 50 weeks, the party has been here for so much longer! To those who have been linking up since the beginning, thank you! You make this party every single week, and it is for you that I continue on. I love seeing your delicious food, and trying as many recipes as I can.

Now let’s CELEBRATE!

FEATURES

Vanilla Bean Homemade Funfetti Cake

What’s a party without a cake and sprinkles?

the Best Shortbread

Pardon me while I give a few shouts, and jump for joy – Mark gets home in less than 24 hours – and this time for good! It’s been a long 6 weeks of solo-parenting, making a little too kid friendly meals, and just letting things go that wouldn’t normally. He’s been trained for his new job, and will start that officially Monday, giving us 2 full days to reconnect as a family. YAHOO! We’re ordering sushi tomorrow night, saturday will be an adventure day, and Sunday we get to spend with Mark’s brothers family celebrating the new LDS Indianapolis temple and his nephew’s birthday.

For this week’s features my eyes roamed to those specifically that made me think of Mark. Recipes I could see him truly indulging in with me. So enjoy! And pardon if you don’t see me around social media too much this weekend…or if the opposite happens and I bombard you with photos of the whole family.

FEATURES

REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup Truffles

from Mama Mommy Mom

I saw REESE’S and knew this would be featured first. As Mark’s favorite candy, and one I love too, I couldn’t resist.

Dauntless Chocolate Cake

from Living Better Together

Anytime I see layered chocolate cake it reminds me of Mark. There was this one restaurant in Logan, UT that we loved having date night at, and we almost always split one of their decadent chocolate cakes.

Chocolate Donut S’mores

from The Gold Lining Girl

Admittedly, this is probably not one Mark would be all over like the above too…but it’s chocolate, and donuts, and a S’more…and we do own a firepit now!

Welcome back to school! At least here it was back to school week. All 3 Princesses are gone during the day, leaving Little Prince and I with a ton of time on our hands. Mostly we’ve been playing RescueBots, because Transformers are most definitely still cool. We’ve also spent a little time in the kitchen, making Panlevi, and thinking up other fun treats to surprise the girls with. I hope you enjoy these features from last week’s part. I’d say they’re perfect for the busy back to school season.
