I have a cookbook obsession — grilling cookbooks, cookbook anthologies, paleo cookbooks, slow-cooker cookbooks — I want them all … as my overflowing bookshelf proves. The one thing each of those cookbooks has in common is the notion of “comfort food.” Whether an Italian, Mexican, Thai, or good ol’ American cookbook, they all highlight comfort […]

The Ultimate Pumpkin Recipe List: 56 Recipes for Fall
Yesterday, a friend and I left the bustling metropolis of College Station and took a field trip over the river and through the woods to visit a Houston area Trader Joe’s. It doesn’t matter how many times I visit that store, I am always a giddy kid as soon as I walk in. LOOK AT […]

The Other Side of the Pumpkin Patch Experience
Monday, I shared all of the camera phone snapshots I took as my Mother-in-Law and I braved the Pumpkin Patch alone with the Kidlets. Yesterday, I spent time going through the “official” photos I took with my Nikon, trying to determine which would be a “print-worthy” picture of the Kidlets. Um…. yeah. Blackmail if I’ve […]
The Pumpkin Patch Is Alive and Well and Living in the Hill Country of Texas.
Thank goodness for camera phones . . . because, since my “he who bleeds maroon” Husband who just HAD to stay home and watch the Texas A&M vs. LSU game, I didn’t have enough hands to juggle the “real” camera and Kidlets during our annual “Pumpkin Patch Adventure.” Not enough hands …. especially since I […]
Pumpkin Bread with Egg-Nog Cream Cheese Filling
Like most Americans,the word Thanksgiving conjures a multitude of memories in this Mommy’s head: watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade and squealing upon spotting the Snoopy balloon… jumping in our old Ford Aerostar (anyone remember those?) and heading to Grandma’s house where we gorged on ham, turkey, cornbread dressing and hot rolls… Hearing the shouts of […]
Slow Cooker Spicy Pumpkin Chili
I have been craving chili in the WORST way the past couple of weeks. Nevermind that we’re still hovering around 159 degrees here in Houston — I need chili in my life. Since I’m in a serious relationship with my crock-pot, I decided to tweak my normal pumpkin chili recipe and make a new slow-cooker […]
Nosh Time – Black Bean & Pumpkin Chili
I haven’t posted about menu-planning in quite awhile — the reason is I am playing with the game of “Monthly Menu Planning.” That’s right; I spent one day planning meals for the entire month. It was exhausting. Actually — I jest. It wasn’t difficult; it was easy. Easy to sit down, calendar by my side […]
20 Kid-Friendly Make Ahead Breakfasts
It. Is. Finished. They are dressed, smiling and off on the “first day of school” adventure. But, oh, Mamas — the marathon that is involved in getting ready for school…. I am TIRED!!!! A photo posted by Rachel Lacy (@followinginmyshoes) on Aug 21, 2016 at 8:41pm PDT As is our tradition, we started our day […]
Simple Orange Cream Frosting for an Easy Peasy Christmas Cookie Party
Oh, Target. It’s like you just know me. It was the week of Thanksgiving — I was eagerly anticipating the smells of roasted turkey, the sage and cornbread dressing, and fresh homemade pumpkin pie. Then, I walked into Target and just like that, my brain and heart had moved past Thanksgiving and were in FULL-ON […]
Project Gratitude: A Thankful Turkey Craft
November. It’s here and suddenly the world is all about tinsel and Christmas carols and the best Amazon steal. Just like that, we’ve jumped over an entire month and settled into full-on, commercialized Santa mode. And, I’m just as guilty as the next person. Monday at work, my co-workers and I chatted about the subject […]
20+ Gluten-Free Fall Soups and Chowders
Y’all. We’ve maintained nearly an entire month with daytime temps in the 80s. Even a few 70s! And at night? Cool and crisp 50s keeping this Mama happy, happy, happy. Slowly, Texas is starting to play nice with me. Giving me the hints of fall that I miss from a childhood living 10 hours north […]
Finding Ways To Celebrate Fall
We have reached that time of year when Texas is just hateful. Hateful, y’all. Football is everywhere, and then there is Pinterest throwing around Pumpkin Spice everything, and at the same time the stores are all putting out displays of boots and scarves and sweaters. Meanwhile, back in Texas, we’re 101 degrees in the shade. It’s humid. […]
Paleo and Primal Lunch Ideas (and printable list)
When I first started packing grain-free lunches, I searched and searched and searched for paleo and primal lunch ideas. Guess what? There aren’t that many — at least, not ones that are kid-friendly! It seems (online, anyway) the majority of persons eating the Paleo Diet are adults. Only a handful of paleo/primal sites share kid […]
Last-Minute EASY Thanksgiving Desserts
So, I was supposed to share my weekly meal-plan with you yesterday … but, I’ve been a bit distracted lately on Pinterest. Instead of focusing on breakfast, lunch and dinner ideas … I’ve been letting my sweet tooth dictate my pins. And so, unable to control myself, I can’t do anything but think about pears […]
Weekly Bites: Roast Beef Salad and A Family Meal Plan
(scroll down to the bottom of the page for the recipe) So, the 21-Day Sugar Detox is finally over. Did I celebrate with a sugary sweet concoction? Nope, not at all. I ate a hamburger with the bun and had a little homemade maple whipped cream in a cup of sugar-less coffee. The maple cream […]
