Hi, friends! I’m checking in today to let you know that I will not be sharing my regular weekly update with our meals and activities from the past few days. Our family has been dealing with a medical emergency this week, so food has been the furthest thing from my mind! Instead, I’ve spent my days running back and forth to the hospital at UVA, while also trying to maintain a sense of normalcy for my kids at home. My meals have largely looked like peanut butter sandwiches, bowls of cereal, or pizza in the hospital cafeteria. Not exactly blog-worthy news!

Thanks for your patience and for your constant support and prayers as we seek healing in the week ahead. I will check back in next Sunday — probably with a more “normal” update.

In the meantime, you will continue to see new recipes on the blog in the coming days, since those have been scheduled in advance. I hope you enjoy the fresh ideas!

And finally, I’ll leave you with this photo of our neighbors harvesting, which I snapped to show tractor-loving Spencer a few days ago. Little nuggets of happiness!

Wishing you a beautiful week ahead!

  1. Sending positive thoughts and hopeful prayers for the medical emergency situation you’re facing.

    On the home front here, I’m letting my slow cooker do the work today after prep work chopping veggies last night. We’ll have braised lamb shank with parsnips, carrots and cabbage mixed with herbs for dinner tonight.
