Tuesday Things.
1. Desperately wish I was the person who was so organized with digital photos and printing them out, but I’m not. Not at all. I’ve made a few books over the years but I need a system I can stick to.
2. Um, why have I never thought to make a waffled quesadilla?!
3. I’m not planning on doing any freezer meals for this birth, mostly because it’s the complete opposite season of my previous two births – and we have so much access to fresh food since it’s June and not December. But a non-negotiable for me is frozen cookie dough (of course!) and my lactation cookies too. They are the best.
4. I’ve mentioned it in a few of my weekly life posts but Max is now requesting to take a book everywhere and I can’t even handle how much I love it. My reader’s dreaming heart explodes every time.
5. Four ways to have a better morning routine!
6. TV Things! It has been years since I’ve watched American Idol, but I’m actually enjoying a bit of it as background TV! I used to LOVE it in the first few seasons. Feels like forever ago.
7. How to just start a difficult task. I do this with SO many things! It’s always one of my goals to avoid putting things off – things that often take a few minutes at the most. I think it’s become even worse during the pandemic for me since we weren’t doing anything. My dad always says “the more you have to do the more you get done” and it’s SO true.
8. I just saw over the weekend that people are buttering their saltine crackers and now it’s becoming a trend. What! My grandma used to do this with soup (pretty sure I wrote about it on the multiple times in 2009/2010) and while I can’t imagine it, wow – everything does come around again.
9. Everyday Dinners is out exactly TWO WEEKS from today! Ah!

I’m to the point now that I just not and say ok when my 13 year brings up a “trend”. Reminding her that I did this or that when I was a kid gets an eyeroll. Saltines with butter was a regular snack and I’m pretty sure I was wearing a middle part while eating them
We did buttered saltines growing up. With soup. It’s so nostalgic and yummy.Â
I don’t think I’ve EVER seen my husband eat a saltine cracker without either butter or peanut butter. Seems to me that having them with the latter would be SOOO dry but he loves it. This is something he most likely grew up eating…just like he loves olives chopped up, mixed into cream cheese and served on Ritz crackers. I also like this so I make it every few weeks or so for a quick lunch.
I feel like it’s pretty cool to be pregnant in totally opposite seasons than before! Not sure how I’ll feel about being super pregnant in the summer but I’ve liked experiencing it through different times of year :)
Buttered saltines?? My mom did this in the 60’s and, sometimes she would put apple butter on them! It’s hilarious how old school things never go away!Â
I used to LOVE buttered saltines – I ate that for breakfast as a child! Thank you for the reminder!
My parents have been buttering their saltines for years. Occasionally they’ll sometimes even eat them as a snack that way! I thought it was just something my parents did. I’m glad to know I’m not alone!
my grandma did the same…and with soup too. she would also butter a piece of bread (store bought from the bakery section sliced white bread she called “vienna bread’) and almost like float it in her soup ?
This cracks me up about buttered saltines! My parents always did this when I was growing up. It was a staple side when we’d have chili. I always thought it was just a normal thing people do until a couple of years ago when my husband saw me doing it and wondered what the heck I was doing. Glad to hear it’s not THAT weird! :)
I love that saying of your dad’s. Â It’s SO true!!!
I’m 33 weeks and had a small sprinkle this weekend. I told my gf’s that I’m SO looking forward to making your delicious Lactation cookies!! I seriously cannot wait. Maybe the best part of breast feeding?
