Your favorite food as a kid just grew up... peas, shallots, wild red shrimp, gruyere and cheddar cheese. Get a bowl of this Shrimp Mac n Cheese ASAP! Happy hump day friends. It's mid July... but I really can't believe the summer is almost over. So much so that I've started to see some pumpkin recipes floating around the web. I know, I know, for you summer purists, how dare I say the word pumpkin in July. Hey, I'm just calling it like it is, I haven't started making anything pumpkin yet, but the glorious fall is just around the corner. I've already started talking about how wonderful it will be :) But first we are headed to the beach this weekend for a big family friendly weekend with all the LaRues. I'm looking forward to a little getaway and spending the weekend relaxing with the fam, and all of the new babies. Last year at the beach 3 of us were preggers and this year we have babies ranging 7-13 months + a 4 year old. This year is going to be so different and probably less relaxing. With 3 baby sleep schedules all under one roof... AHHH. Anyone have any tips for traveling with a 9 month old? It's only a two hour drive but I want to made the house as comfy as possible. We really haven't traveled much with him, since he was a baby baby.
