Cheesy Roasted Veggie Patties

Hi again, friends!  It's me Claire from A Little CLAIREification with a super easy {and cheesy} Fall friendly recipe just for you: Cheesy Roasted Veggie Patties!  

With the onset of Fall, we have had an abundance of fresh veggies from our patio container garden and corn has also been so cheap and readily available so I thought these Cheesy Roasted Veggie Patties would be a great way to use up some of the surplus.

"Eat Your Veggies...or else!"  Sound familiar?  That can sometimes be a tough sell in our house because everyone has a certain favorite vegetable and incorporating the ones we ALL like into a recipe can be a little tricky.

How to Have {& Give} a Time-Out for Mom with Bigelow Tea

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and Bigelow Tea.

All opinions are mine alone.  #AmericasTea #CollectiveBias

Sometimes moms need a timeout, too. Now that school and crazy schedules are in full swing, that idea is pure gospel truth around here. Here's a fun idea on How to Have {& Give} a Time-Out for Mom. It includes a delicious recipe for these Constant Comment Shortbread Cookies, made with Bigelow Tea.

Once September hits, and that alarm clock gets set for a much earlier time, and the evenings are packed with piano lessons, homework, and football games...and, and, and...it sometimes gets hard to find a moment for ourselves. Right, moms? And I know that my friends are all in the exact same boat...so why not spread some time-outs all around? I have a simple idea to take your own time-out as well as share some time-outs with friends with Bigelow Tea. Read below for all the fun {and free printables to make your own time-out box}.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Chip Oatmeal Bars

These Pumpkin Cinnamon Chip Oatmeal Bars are the perfect treat...

or even breakfast-to-go! They're delicious and packed with the flavors of fall.

I cannot lie. We're on week four of school and already I'm throwing cereal in a bag with them as they head out the door. Considering we live across the street from the school, breakfast is ridiculously rushed. 

I've been making the pumpkin oatmeal square from Sally's Baking Addiction for two years now and realized they'd be a great solution to my lack-of-breakfast preparation {usually when I make them, they may or may not make it all the way to breakfast from the night before binge we have with Sally's bars}. Recently, I started playing around with the recipe and came up with this one, using some of our own favorite ingredients. I'm super excited to share my twist on this recipe with you. We're calling them Pumpkin Cinnamon Chip Oatmeal Bars, but you can just call them YUMMY!

Check out the recipe below>>>

Lunchbox-Ready Freezer Muffins

Fall seems like a super muffin-y time of year. I just want to bake all the live long day. I recently did that and knocked out a bunch of lunchbox-ready freezer muffins. I take them from the freezer that morning and they thaw by my kids' lunchtimes. 

Are you a muffin junkie, too? I think they're like a homemade version of convenience foods for lunch boxes. And they can be healthy, too...score! I've rounded up several of my favorite freezer ones that I've created. I also found some yummy ones at this past week's Inspiration Monday to include as well.

Some of these are savory and make a great "main dish" in a lunch box. Some are sweet and make a nice dessert. And sometimes, I just want to not make a sandwich, so I stick a muffin in their lunch and call it good. Any way you make lunches...muffins are always a good thing! Check these babies out below>>>

These 25 free fall fonts will warm their way right into your heart. From handwritten to classic cursive styles...they all have that cozy (and a little crisp) fall feeling. These free fall fonts are right up there with Pumpkin Spiced Lattes. Yep. They're that good.

Mexican Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies

The hint of spice is an unexpected fun twist in these easy-to-make

DIY Chore Boards for Kids

See how to create these DIY Chore Boards below.

While I tend to lean into the summer season for getting organized with the kids' daily chores, I am truly happier when we have a working system in place all year round. And this simple little chore board is absolutely perfect for that. It's a system that is not only easy to put together, but simple for even the youngest family members to use. See how to make these chore boards below.

I just love to entertain; big gathering, small gathering, a few friends...you name it. I'm southern and it's just in my blood, I suppose :).

On a recent wandering excursion through my local Ikea, I spotted these serving bowls for the great price of $2.99 a piece. (((seriously, my Starbucks addiction costs me more for a single coffee!)))  My wheels started spinning and before I knew it; there were 4 in my cart!  They are small in size, so perfect for individual service pieces ... OR ... a cute little snack dish, perfect for a small crowd! See how they're made below>>>

#natureboxsnacks

When I get tired of lunch-making {it happens}...it turns into a several-days-in-a-row cafeteria buying frenzy {UGH!}.

It seems like summer is always the most patriotic time of year. We bookend {and center} it with red, white and blue fun! As we get ready to leave summer in the rear view mirror {sniff, sniff}, I have one last recipe with America written all over it...Red, White, and Blueberry Grilled Chicken Salad. It's infused with flavors of delicious Bigelow English Teatime Tea...both in the dressing and the marinade of the chicken. Here's how I put it all together>>>

Ten Free Back-To-School Fonts

I've rounded up my favorite ten free back-to-school fonts. They're perfect for all of your school year projects, crafts, printables and vinyl fun.

Download these free back-to-school fonts below.

I'm calling to order (yet, another) meeting of the fontaholics anonymous friends. With all of the font round ups I've posted the last couple of years, I've discovered that there's a bit of a kindred spirit among all of us fonties. And here's a bit more fun: Ten Free Back-To-School Fonts to add to all of our overstuffed font books on our laptops, (let's face it, the 900+ fonts I have on this machine *may* have something to do with its slower pace...that gets slower by the minute). So as we send the kiddies off to school, here are some fabulous fonts to celebrate this special time!

The Hundred-Foot Journey? It's loaded with unbelievable Indian and French Food. Enter to win this AMAZING dream trip to Paris put together by World Market {and get a taste of all the yumminess first hand}!

#GourmetGetaway

Based on the best-selling novel by Richard C. Morais, The Hundred-Foot Journey stars Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren and will be in U.S. theaters on August 8. In this highly anticipated movie, Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France. Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant...the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin-starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren) gets wind of it.

And thanks to World Market, you could win a Culinary Trip to Paris inspired by the film, THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY. Enter below>>>

All opinions are mine alone.

This Zesty Chicken Italian Salad Recipe in Shells is the perfect party food...or a great dish for a light summertime dinner. It's impressive, but also very simple to put together.

#FoodDeservesDelicious  #CollectiveBias

I'll be completely honest, I sometimes am a bit intimidated with the idea of creating an entire recipe completely from scratch. Usually I base a recipe off of something else or off one of my mom's classics. But, this recipe is 100% my own creation...and I think it turned out really well. Hey, if seven and nine year old boys wolfed it down, I'd say it's a winner-winner chicken dinner {literally}.

And it's easy {my fave}! Check out the recipe below>>>
