Cooking in my new Cozy, Cluttered Kitchen: Zucchini-Asparagus Fritters with Pesto Yogurt Sauce

To update everyone from my last post, Charles–our beloved kitty–found his way home. YAY!! After a week of prayers and me bushwhacking through dense forest, he wound up at our sliding glass door at 11:30pm one evening, meowing frantically to be let inside.

With a sick kiddo and almost constant drizzle, it felt like the absolute right day to make The Good Ramen for the first time since early spring. I made mine a shiitake mushroom broth and the rest of the family got chicken, and then after dinner we lit the first Autumn candle, got out a board game, and had a nice glass of amaretto (which is also a cooler weather after-dinner drink if choice that we suddenly felt like circling back to again). 💚 #hullfamilyhomestead #earlyautumnvibes #rainyday Beautiful sky this evening. 😍 #hullfamilyhomestead #sunset #zionsvillein Just enjoying a few quiet hours on a dreary day reading in our library room, complete with chess table and musical instruments. 😍 Have I mentioned lately how much I love our new house? 🥰 #hullfamilyhomestead #rainyday #library #newhouse I wasn’t lying when I said I was feeling more settled in my new kitchen! Here’s a few photos of meals from this past week: strawberry salad, sheet pan pizza, and white bean and cherry farro salad. I hope to have some of these (or all!) on the blog this week. #hullfamilyhomestead #settlingin #summerfood I've updated the blog with the recipe from last night's dinner as well as a little new-house kitchen talk. I hope you enjoy these zucchini-asparagus fritters with pesto yogurt sauce! (link below on Facebook or in linktree in bio on Instagram) #hullfamilyhomestead Solstice morning. 🌞✨😍 #hullfamilyhomestead #summersolstice #dawn I have fought the very 1970s original kitchen and can finally feel the battle turning in my direction. 💪🙌 Tonight’s dinner of zucchini and asparagus fritters with pesto yogurt sauce and porcini lemon couscous and spinach salad was fun to make (huzzah!) and delicious to eat. And now that I have baked the first batch of chocolate chip cookies it is definitely home and my kitchen. Stay tuned tomorrow for a blog post (yes! Really!!) with the recipe. 🥰 #hullfamilyhomestead #zionsvillein #newhouse #familydinner #vegetarianfood The heat has given us a welcome break this morning, so it is coffee time on our back deck with a gorgeous view. 🥰 #hullfamilyhomestead #zionsvillein #zionsvilleindiana
