A Few Items of Interest

I am super thrilled and excited to be headed off to the Relevant Conference tomorrow! My hair is done, my bags are (or will be soon) packed, the car is (hopefully) fixed... all I need is to get my nails done tomorrow (priorities, you know!) and we'll be off!



So before I disappear for a few days, a couple items that I hope interest you:



1. I won't have time for blogging while at the conference, but I will be tweeting! Follow me @qechtweets if you aren't already. If you aren't on Twitter yet, what are you waiting for? Sign up, and follow me!



2. Support one of the sponsors of the Relevant Conference: Tavern on the Green. Tavern on the Green sells all-natural sauces, marinades and the like: one thing I appreciate about them is that the majority of their products fit into my "healthy philosophy" (see sidebar), so I can recommend them with a good conscience. If that's not enough, a portion of all their proceeds go to benefit the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. It's a win-win for everyone: you get a delicious product, the NCMEC receives monetary support, and in the interest of full disclosure, I also receive a small percentage of the proceeds. So check them out and see if you like their products!



3. If you're bored while I'm gone, check out these autumn posts from the archives and be ready for more Fall Fest fun when I return!

Squash as Baby Food Think making baby food at home is time consuming and totally not worth it? Think again! A super easy tip for great "homemade" baby food that's healthy, easy and super quick.



Turkey Rice Squash Casserole Healthy comfort food, perfect for chillier evenings.



A Fall Twist on Shepherd's Pie More comfort food, more fall flavors... one of my favorites!
