Having gotten myself totally attached and addicted to the Chili and Honey Almonds from Graze, I was on a MISSION to find a worthy substitute til they show up again in another Graze box.

As anyone who knows me "in real life" can attest, I am not allowed on bikes and have not been for, well, most of my life. And with very good reason.

Spring is FINALLY here, today is the Cardinals Home Opener and with the awesome weather and fun plans are starting to fill the calendar, so naturally you want to make something fun for dinner.

So, like, the day after the post went live last week for Graze.com, my very first box arrived at my home. I don't normally arrive home until evening from work and my husband chooses to not mess with my mail often despite my many requests (he works from home), but he did say "hey, ANOTHER (lots of emphasis there...) package arrived for you today..this one looks interesting and I almost want to open it this time, but I won't. But I want to."

After posting a photo of my go-to side dish on Instagram, I had several readers request my "recipe" for the Fajita Veggies I use as a side frequently with dinner, including the response on the photo. I posted a brief response about it there, and thought that I probably should post about it. And then it got buried in draft posts.  

I have since been asked again for the recipe, and realized I never did post it! My apologies!

I actually had another post planned for today that I rescheduled after getting an enormous amount of requests via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and email for the recipe I use for my semi-homemade Chicken Noodle Soup.  

It's very popular with my husband and with the rest of my family, my sister has said she "lives for my soup."  She's even been known to eat it cold, in a bind, and still proclaims it amazing, which I take as pretty high praise.

Now that Fall has finally arrived in the Midwest, and it's November(!!), my husband has requested that stew be made for dinner again.  I am one of those people who believes that chili and stew and most soups just are not year-round foods, so I reserve them for fall and winter and early spring.  With the temperatures going down, and a few mornings being quite frosty already, it's finally time to break out the crock pot and brew up some stew.  

See what I did there....yea I know, I rolled my eyes too.
