And that Ben and I are doing a GOOD JOB as parents. Through all those night time tears, when he wouldn’t latch, or I had to change three diapers in a row because of a blow out, or him creating a water feature on the changing table, or spitting up on a fourth onesie because of an upset tummy – I needed to give myself the grace to know that we are in it together and we are OK. For me, learning to give myself time to adapt and find my new normal is something I had high expectations for – wanting to be perfect from the get go – even though I had no idea what I was (or still am) doing as a mom. This one – is only THREE ingredients!īen, Emmett, Huck, and I are finding our new groove, and as we continue in learning our new normal, and settling in to our new family life, I am constantly surprised by the progress we have made.Įmmett is officially one more old and while sometimes I get frustrated by what I see as “slow progress” and little set backs, I have to pause and see that every day we have another minor victory that moves us forward. This easy apple stuffing pork chop bake is one dish that I have made for years when the weather turns crappy and cold, and I need a little taste of Thanksgiving without having to go through the whole cook-an-entire-Thanksgiving-dinner. But as anyone knows, you can’t survive on sandwiches alone, I still crave a hot meal at the end of the day. So all is forgiven.Īs I continue to learn to adapt to this new radical shift in our daily lives, my cooking style has too. I never really realized what kind of pressure I put on myself until I was under the control of a tiny little 8 pound dictator who refuses to be put down, and finds himself more content falling asleep on your chest for hours at a time, and somehow KNOWS when you are trying to get dinner on the table so you can eat, or write a blog post, or even pee on your own.īut those steel blue baby eyes and little dimples get me every. One of the biggest shifts in my identity since becoming a mom to little Tater Tot, is that I need to give myself a lot of GRACE. Cook for about 1 hour, or until tomatoes have drastically shrunken in size and begin to turn golden brown at the edges.It doesn’t get any easier than this three ingredient meal!
