These look like wonderful recipes. I don’t know why, but I’m always surprised when I find out people on the blogs I read are LDS or have gone to BYU. I liked them before, but that makes it extra special for me.
Actually the most useless stay-at-home mom degree: Latin with a history minor.

I did learn how to make chili from scratch while living in Austria, but that was from the American girl I was living with I also learned more about using fresh produce, particularly making pasta dishes and of course, making Austrian food. I also discovered Nutella, which has become a common craving of mine.

I love the idea of premaking and freezing pasta sauce! Your dishes look fantastic.

Did you learn any of your recipes or styles from your trips abroad?

I’ve made and used the taco seasoning and it’s WONDERFUL! I love the addition of the cocoa powder. Girl, get that posted ASAP!

@ Rebecca — That dish would be great in the fall. We’ve been struggling to get out of the 60s all spring and I forget that people in other parts of the country are already in swimsuits.

Ya, theater is for sure on that list. Haha… although, do you think it helps when dealing with drama at home? JK

Oh! And another round of “you’re awesome, Erika!”. You always make it so fun to learn about our fellow members.

That sausage and sweet potato hash over creamy polenta looks like the ultimate in fall comfort food. Come ON Fall. I want to try that when I’m not dripping sweat… Sorry.

I really enjoyed learning more about you Natalie. I might be able to rival your least-practical stay-at-home-mom college major; Theater. Oh yeah.
