Making Memories: Rustic Backyard Garden Wedding Menu

Oh my goodness, Y’all! I just realized that I never posted the wedding menu from last year… and here we are almost a year later! Thank goodness for my Holiday Planner… I’ve got my notes 🙂 Thankfully, some of the family and friends did offer to bring some of the food… that helped a lot.

Most of the recipes were able to be made in advance, so we spent the two days before the wedding getting all the food prepped. It was a lot of work, but we had a lot of family come to help, and many hands make light work, and God enabled us with the spirit of determination to get it done!

In my defense, I believe that I was waiting so I could post some of the photos, but sadly the photos were lost so we never got the ones we were waiting on… if you want to see what we have you can check out this post:

My Kids Surprised Me With Their Knife Skills!

I used to think letting my kids near sharp knives was a recipe for disaster. Turns out, it’s the exact opposite.

When kids learn real knife skills, they actually become safer in the kitchen. They gain confidence, take ownership of meals, and (bonus!) start helping with dinner instead of just asking when it’s ready.

That’s exactly what this free knife skills class for kids delivers: practical instruction, real safety techniques, and fun activities that make kids excited to cook. My kids surprised me and so will yours!

Special Holiday Meals: A Hobbit Inspired Menu w/printable menu

My family loves the Hobbit books and movies, so when I saw that there was an actual ‘Hobbit Day’ on September 22nd, I had to make a note of it on our Fall Perpetual Meal Plan. Last year, we were in the middle of wedding prep, followed by hurricane prep, so it kind of got forgotten about. This year, my kiddos have not let me forget!

We worked together to make a menu so that we can celebrate… we might even watch the movies, if we can! We might also enjoy our Elevenses outdoors under our garden arches… so many ideas. Our kids love reading and we love to encourage them so this is a cute way to keep that spark ALIVE!
