Are you ready for Thanksgiving yet?
I’m not. I’ve thought about one or two dishes, but that’s about it. Luckily, I’m not hosting at my house, so I’m not too concerned about the lack of forethought. But it’s time to get the talk going with my mom and mother-in-law to see what our plan of attack will be this year.

This pumpkin smoothie is like a piece of pumpkin pie in a glass, with a lot less sugar. And it’s a perfect way to use up a bit of leftover puree from a pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread recipe!

This recipe is one of the highlights of our recent trip to the Oregon Coast. The best way I can describe it is sheer comfort in a bowl.

Cute. Kid-friendly. Vegetarian. Gluten-free. And vegan, if you want ‘em to be! Make a batch of these Golden Polenta Stars and give the kids their choice of dipping sauces — marinara, ketchup, ranch dressing or even salsa. These are delicious!

Have a lot of snacks on hand.
That’s pretty much the universal advice for taking small kids on a road trip. And obviously, the more interesting the snack, the better. Enter Toddler Trail Mix.

I planned for our recent Oregon Coast trip in much the same way a person might plan for an extended stay in a remote country. I tried to think of everything. Part of the road trip plan had to include a breakfast in the car that would be yummy, relatively mess-free, and toddler friendly. The result: Breakfast on a Stick.

Finally, to round out the first ever Fall Recipe Series on AnchorMommy, I’d like to introduce you to Rosie of Books and Bakes.
I first became acquainted with Rosie after she left a comment on Why Playgroups Could Put Me in Therapy. Her comment was funny and thoughtful, and she used the word “mum” instead of “mom,” so I figured she wasn’t from around these parts. I had to know more about her, so I immediately clicked over to her blog…
