Weekend links are here to make your week a little easier! (This newsletter may contain affiliate links.)​

Hi friends-

I hope the time change is somehow kind to all of us in the US and everyone gets back on the usual sleeping schedule soon...this Okay to Wake Clock and visual timer (which I set so the kids can see how much time we have for bedtime, which cuts down on renegotiating over and over!) have been hugely helpful in these times!

Easy recipes and ideas for the week ahead are below for you—we're making more Cider Apples today too!

Amy

Easy Apple Baked Oatmeal: It has a texture that’s soft enough for even the littlest eaters, can be eaten in slices or scooped into a bowl, and stores well in the fridge for days.

Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce: With creaminess and color from butternut squash, plus extra flavor, this is a favorite homemade mac and cheese option.

Easy Baked Apple Donuts: They’re a fun treat to share with the kids AND a healthy breakfast to serve all year long…with or without the cinnamon-sugar topping.

Easy Butternut Squash Apple Soup: It is great for babies on up to adults, happens to be dairy-free, and is packed with vegetarian protein. It’s so darn good.

Kids Kitchen Set

Perfect for involving the kids in the kitchen, this kids knife and chopper (read: they are safe for little hands!) are my go-to set. A great gift for for a kid already into food—or to help kids explore new foods in a fun way.

Favorite Apple Cookies: These are a perfect fall (or anytime really) treat to share with the kids—whether or not you top them with an easy icing!

Easy Spinach Pesto: It’s fast, budget-friendly, and allergy safe—and it stores well in the fridge or freezer for future meals!

Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites (No-Bake): With minimal ingredients and the easiest method, these no-bake bites are an easy dessert to share with the kids.

10-Minute Pan-Seared Chicken: With just 3 simple ingredients and a 10-minute cooking time, this healthy chicken is such a great weeknight dinner option.
