The Goods
I know I’m posting a lot of hiking photos the past few weeks but the trails are at their prime right now. The colors are changing quickly, the weather is perfect for breaking a sweat outside and because I’m nursing an injured shoulder, hiking is my favorite form of exercise right now. I’ve been getting out everyday enjoying the fall and you can bet that the photos won’t be stopping anytime soon. Hope you enjoy them!
My favorite recipes from around the web this week:
Healing one bowl at a time.
Oh my, how right are these cookies?
Taco Tuesday x infinity.
And these pancakes? Be still my peanut butter loving heart.
Do you know what to do if you’re charged by a moose? I only ask because I encountered one yesterday and did the only thing that came to my mind: RUN. (Like the dickens I might add.)
I’ve ordered and sent back two pair of trail running shoes in the last month. I’ve heard nothing but great reviews of these and thinking of giving them a try. What do you think?
I’m so not a DIY’er but totally thinking I could do this to the fridge in our garage.
Last night I fed the kiddos an early dinner and then sat down to a dinner for one to plan meals, upcoming blogging recipes and my infinitely long Trader Joe’s list. So I ask, what are your favorite finds at TJ’s?
Not a TJ’s find but obsessing over this vinegar as of late. I use it on just about everything right now.
My new guilty pleasure for late night tv watching. I’m a sucker for DIY shows. And let’s be real, hot contractors.
I’m a little embarrassed to admit it but I’m totally sucked into this. It’s just so unreal to me. But fascinating at the same time. And kind of funny and sweet. And the whole time I watch, I’m like REALLY? And how can they be so dang happy all the time? SUCKED IN, I tell you.
(And not proud of it.)
Whenever I can’t find my littlest, he’s usually in the garage, riding his dads motorcycle to a make believe world with ninjas, doughnuts and spiderman. Or so he tells me.
A few book recommendation’s for all the readers out there:
I blew through this book book in just under a week.
And this book? I finished it last night and loved it. Like really LOVED it.
And because you can never have enough cookbooks, this one is gorgeous. And is quickly about to become a favorite. It’s full of some amazing (and light) recipes! I’ve already earmarked a handful of recipes to try!
Have a great rest of the week, everyone!

My 10 year old is obsessed with 19 Kids and Counting too. It’s been what she watches while everyone plays outside since her leg is broken. Crazy!
I love your hiking pictures!
I met Gina from Skinny taste a while back at an event, she is awesome and I can only imagine her book is too! So envious of your fall photos and hiking adventures. I don’t get so much of that here in South Florida.
Hoka’s are great if you like a super padded shoe. I prefer minimalist zero drops so lean more towards the Altra’s which have become my everyday footwear now that I’m 30 was preggo and nothing is comfortable!
They’re building a new TJ’s in Sandy, so maybe that will be closer for you than downtown. My faves are their hearts of palm and artichoke hearts. And I can usually get some decent orchids for not too much coin while I’m there too. P.S. I used to go into the garage at my grandma’s house and pretend I was driving her VW. I think that’s what inspired me to steal my mom’s car at a young age, so watch out!
Keep the photos coming. I love ’em! And yes, 19 kids and counting is addicting. It is amazing to me with that many children in the house there never seems to be a fight or argument. They are all so nice and helpful. HOW!!!!
I stumbled across your blog, while searching for recipes. Love your posts on Utah, and the changing colors. I moved away from Sandy, UT for college 4 years ago and miss this time of year the most!
Will be following you more closely for some yummy recipes and snapshots of one of my favorite places in the world!
Thanks for reading! Utah is indeed a beautiful place to experience fall!
