Some days, like today, Sadie and I are homebound without a vehicle. Â We are a one car family. Â Actually we have been for the past 5 years! Â It’s been very convenient that we have lived on base or very close to base during these one car years. Â It’s made paying down all our debt in 4 years a bit more manageable. Â I’m a big advocate for being a one car family if you can do it. Â All those days home without a car to escape my boredom has allowed me to be creative in the kitchen! Â Because believe me, when Brenton is deployed and I have the car all to myself I’m out of the house constantly. Â Sooo this hermit status I am so very familiar with I am grateful for.
Let me make something clear about this whole one car thing… it was quite the adjustment and currently involves a lot of communication. Â There are some days where Brenton will need the car because his schedule is packed or he has a really late or early flight that I’d rather stay in bed for than drop him off. Â OR there are evenings where I have a photography session and Brent has a dinner (these are the worse and usually involves him getting a ride with someone). Â There are a lot of carpools, car borrowing from gracious neighbors, and walking involved. Â Do you think this one car thing could be possible for your family?

This Roasted Squash Medley with balsamic glaze and pumpkin seeds fills the house with the feeling of fall. Â I mean when you think of acorn squash do you think of any other season? Â Didn’t think so.
SO this recipe will check off all these boxes…
