Friday Faves: Meet A Teaspoon of Home, preschool, campaigning and the circus.
So I’ve decided to add an extra post on Friday’s. This will introduce you a bit to my little life and family, as well as share some great new recipe finds. I hope it will be a way for me to connect with my readers and serve as a little journal.
So my name is Emily Dunnigan and I am A Teaspoon of Home. I am a mother of two busy kids, a one year old and a three year old and love being at home creating memories with them. I was lucky enough to meet my amazing husband almost four years ago. We were set up and fell fast in love. He is the best decision I ever made and I am reminded of that on a daily basis; as he takes such great care of me and my babies.
I waited a long time to meet Mr. Right and so for the decade that I was searching for him I hosted weekly/monthly crepe parties and oodles of dinners and other events. I found that I was happiest when I could create things for others to enjoy. Since becoming a mom I try to do the same for my family. So I decided to create just that, a resource for meal making.
Weekly highlights:
*Sending my 3 year old to preschool for 6 hours this week without tears (from mom or son). I am loving his excitement to learn and be engaged. Plus I am moving mountains, well cleaning floors, ironing, laundry and many other things that haven’t been done in too long.
*Campaigning for my father in-law and supporting him at a community event. (Are not my kid’s shirts sooo cute?)
*Family trip to the Circus, the greatest show on earth, so fun to hear the oohs and awes from my children as they experience new things.
Now here are some of my favorite recipes that I stumbled upon this week.

There is nothing I love more than my mom’s cooking! It doesn’t matter what it is, it always tastes better when she makes it. This week’s menu is one of my favorite menus that my mom makes. Anytime a chill comes in the air you can bet that there is a pot of chicken noodle soup on her stove.
I love baking bread and this recipe makes that love for baking multiply. I feel like the most intimidating part of bread-making is yeast and this recipe is literally a dump and mix. You can not fail! I place all of the ingredients into my Bosch and turn it on and off a few times and then roll out the dough. It is so simple, you will wonder why you ever bought it at the store.
