Life
has been very exciting for our family this month! At the end of the month (just
a few days) we are moving into our new house! For the past few months husband
has been working very hard to find the perfect home for our family. So many
weekends have been filled with driving all over the Minneapolis suburbs
checking out neighborhoods and exploring houses. It has been an exhausting and
emotional journey for our whole family.
Last
month we found the right house for us. So in preparation for moving I have been
spending the month organizing, packing and getting into the moving mindset. I
guess the good thing about moving in the middle of winter is that I’m not
distracted by outside activities. It’s been too cold to go sledding but little
one and I have made it to the park a few times. It’s always interesting getting
him bundled up in snow pants, snow boots, mittens, hats, coats and scarves just
to go to the same park that only a few months before he was able to wear flip
flops and shorts to.
I
have a backlog of fun recipes to share. I’ve been hitting my recipe binder
pretty hard and trying recipes that have been hanging around for a while. Sadly
I have had to throw many recipes away. Thankfully many meals that I have been making
have been delicious. This recipe is a great mac and cheese recipe for goat
cheese lovers. It’s just as easy as a box but tastes very grown up. Little one
even gobbled it up, so if you have little ones don’t be afraid to give this a
shot. I paired this dish with some flavored chicken sausage and veggies. Delicious!
Enjoy!
