What are the best things about the spring months? While we are loving the beautiful sunshine, but it's still pretty chilly out. These are perfect days for cozy meals!

We love a  cozy, warm and delicious dinner like this Sunday Pot Roast with Sweet Potatoes. Sitting down to a hearty bowl, steeped in flavor and slow-cooked to perfection, makes us happy! And have we talked leftovers? The leftovers are SO good! You can always make The Pioneer Woman's Perfect Pot Roast Turned into Soup recipe!

Easy to prepare in the morning (let it cook all day), or even after church on a Sunday (let it simmer for the afternoon), I love the flavors of fennel, shallots, red onions, and red wine.

The wood pile

We moved to central Oregon 5 years ago. When I see this wood pile, and a picture of our kids, it makes me smile. A lot has changed in our lives the past 5 years. We are now empty nesters!

This wood pile resembled many hours of splitting, stacking, and preparing for winter–one of the ways of creating comfort and the feeling of warmth in our home.

It heard many conversations during the long, hot days of summer, home to the chattery chipmunks. The splitting and stacking of firewood became "an experience," with our family's first wood stove. It gave a feeling of being prepared, and satisfaction. Like all was right with the world, when the wood was stacked and ready.

Stack a heaping amount of gratitude on top of that wood pile, along with a cozy roast beef meal, and it reminds me of the saying, home is where your heart is.
