Ah, fall! Hopefully it means a break from oppressive summer heat, and it definitely means fun times are ahead. Fall might find us grabbing my mom and heading to a local pumpkin patch. Another weekend we might be sampling banana-flavored milk at our nearby dairy farm. Below are 10 ideas for fall traditions to start with your own family. Pick and choose a few each year … or try to sneak them all in!

If you are like me, you are always hunting for quick and easy dinners that your whole family will actually eat. I’m hearing over and over again “Don’t be short order cooks!” but with a 5-year-old and a 3-year-old around that can be a hard rule to live by. One thing both my kids LOVE is noodles – I think they could eat noodles every night.
Here’s a pasta dish that is easy to prepare and has all the goodness you need for a healthy, filling dinner for the entire family. Add in other vegetable ingredients according to your kids’ likes or dislikes. You could also substitute another wide noodle for the lasagna noodle.
