Big, grand, expensive plans.

With an almost one-year-old in the house, we’re finding ourselves outside and looking for interesting things to do and see to keep us occupied, and that’s not going to slow down now that it’s November!.I remember when Kennedy was around the age that baby Jack is now, we went on all kinds of fun walks and hikes at all different times of day.

One morning we were outside at about 6 am and I remember thinking that I hope we still get out on little outdoor adventures all over the place even when we don’t have a one-year-old to keep busy..Whether you have young kids in the house or not, here are some great reasons to get outside, go for a drive, take a walk, take some pictures, or just breathe in that nice fresh air!.Sparsely populated city parks.

Farm machinery/ fall harvest in action.Protected migratory bird areas.

Large murders of crows or other scavenger birds.

Covered bridges and wind mills.-It’s delicious.

-It’s full of nutritious veggies and protein sources, but no picky eater ever seems to realize it.. -You can’t mess it up.. -We eat it (or a leftover version of something made out of it) at least once a week.. -One pot seems to last and last for ever and ever..Some weeks it seems like we live off of basic chili, just cause it’s easy and healthy and everyone loves it.

Somehow chili has gotten a reputation as kind of a junky comfort food even though, when you think of it, it’s pretty much all veggies, and you can hide all kinds of extra veggies in there too if you want!.Whenever I make up a big batch of this stuff, I always freeze the leftovers and we get at least 3 more meals out of it over the next few weeks.
