farm fresh

On Saturday, we visited Jane and Paul's farm in Norfolk, MA to pick some apples, pet the animals and buy some fall veggies. My parents joined us for the fun and we all had a great afternoon outside in the warm sunshine....what a perfect day!

We brought home lots of apples, fresh broccoli, butternut squash, potatoes, the most amazing M&M chocolate chip cookies and everyone got a pumpkin!

Today I made a big family dinner for my parents and us. I put chicken and BBQ sauce in the crock pot to cook all day, made mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, roasted butternut squash and warm rolls.
