Thomas Rhett and Family Celebrate Halloween Early

We haven’t heard much from Thomas Rhett‘s wife Lauren since they announced that they’re expecting their third baby girl. Early on, Lauren admitted that morning sickness had turned to all-day sickness and it was slowing her down. But when Lauren had a good day recently, she made the most of it by celebrating her favorite holiday with her little family — two months early.

Hocus Pocus with some milk and cookies sounds like a dream.

{Katie’s Baby Blog} Lily’s is 9 Months!

This has been a very exciting month! Lily is constantly growing and learning new things.

Crawling is no big deal anymore, she has quickly moved on to wanting to walk. She pulls herself up onto anything she can grab onto- my leg, the tables, her crib. Slowly, she is getting more confident with letting go and standing in the middle of the room by herself. I have to appreciate her determination for trying to stand up on her own because she bumped her forehead the other day after she stood her legs up and then went to push off with her hands and her little head went straight back down; but after a few seconds of crying and kisses from Mommy, she wanted back down to try again!

STILL no teeth. At her doctors appointment yesterday the doctor said we should get a couple teeth in the next month  or so…can’t wait! She eats great and right now she loves avocado and scrambled eggs! Still hates peaches. I guess she will just never be a peach eater. Oh well!

Her favorite thing to do is try to steal Zoey’s dog toys and they immediately go into her mouth. YUCK! So, we try to hide them, but of course, Zoey finds them and then brings them to Lily as if she is going to throw them for her. I also think Zoey is offering up a trade for Lily’s toys because she likes to lay her squeaky bone in front of Lily and then slowly grab the toy that Lily has and take off with it. Stinker.

Lily is talking more and more and said “bye bye” this morning to Tim when he dropped her off before work! He said, “it could have been more of a ba-ba” noise, but she waved and said it….so I think it counts as a “bye bye!”

She loves to wave, clap her hands and has started throwing her arms up when we say “how big is Lily?!” “SO BIG!” It’s so cute. It’s cute when any kid does it, but there is just something so exciting about it when it’s your own little one.

3 more months until her 1st birthday….wow!! I need to start thinking about a theme!! Moms go all out for the 1st birthday so, I want to keep up!

Then, in a pan on the stove, add 2 cups of your favorite salsa, 2 tbsp. of tomato paste, 1/2 tsp. of coriander, 1 tsp. of chili powder and 1 tsp. ground cumin. Let that simmer for a few minutes and then add in your chicken and simmer for 5 minutes longer.

In the oven, (350 degrees) sprinkle cheese on your tortillas and heat in the oven until cheese melts.

While everything is cooking, chop up your lettuce, avocado, and black olives.

Once, your chicken is finished spoon it onto your tortillas and add your favorite toppings.

Gabby’s Great Debate: Hot vs. Cold

Which would you rather be? Most say cold…but I’m team hot. Yeah, sure you can add more and more layers to get yourself warm. But…when you’re hot and step into the air conditioning you get much cooler much quicker than you would get warmer by adding layers if you were cold. Hahaha I’m talking in circles. That’s what makes this…debatable! Duh.

{Katie’s Kitchen} Pesto Chicken Sandwich on Ciabatta

Brought to you by Catoctin Mountain Orchard

This chicken sandwich is BURSTING with flavor! It has a few of my favorites…fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, pesto and ciabatta bread.

For this sandwich, you can make your own pesto if you want, I used my favorite brand from the store.

Mix together your spices- cumin, chili powder, coriander, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Then, cover your chicken with the spices. You can grill the chicken or bake in the oven 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

When the chicken is finished slice your ciabatta rolls in half and transfer to a clean baking sheet and toast for about 5 – 10 minutes.

Chop up your onions. Transfer to a bowl and pour champagne vinegar over to pickle. Slice the tomatoes, mozzarella, onions and basil.

Spread mayonnaise on one piece of the ciabatta and pesto to the other side. You can get fancy with your mayo and mix together with minced garlic, horseradish and lemon zest.

Layer the rest of your ingredients on your sandwich, cut and serve!!
