Hi Reader -- The days are cooling down (sometimes - it's currently humid as can be), my girls are back in school, and Labor Day weekend is upon us. We're headed to South Haven one more time before it really cools off, but we'll be home for Labor Day. My husband usually grills/smokes some meat, but I also like to make some things inside to round out the menu (especially when weather doesn't cooperate). Go-to Labor Day Recipes ⭐️Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue or just enjoying the long weekend, these recipes will help you say farewell to summer.

Hi Reader, Happy Sunday! We had a busy week of field trips (3rd graders & 6th graders went to the zoo - I'd do the 3rd grade field trip again in a heartbeat. The 6th graders? Not so much 🥴 lol), field day volunteering, and a surprise new AC unit installed (super fun new homeowner stuff). Dinner had to be minimal effort. Instead of calling these "lazy", maybe I should call them "efficient" to sound nicer? 7 Low Effort Crockpot Recipes Spicy Ranch Slow Cooker Chicken - three ingredients, a...
