My fall favorite is cooking the cozy things -- soups, stew, chili. Summer veggie are the best, but that turn to fall flavors on cool days is spot on. Gets me in the nesting mood.
I started with a pasta sauce recipe that I've been eating like a soup -- everything pureed ... tomatoes, celery, onion, zucchini, spinach, garlic, basil, carrots, peppers, jalapeños. So many veggies in one simple bite. It has really good flavor.
This weekend I'm making chili for football (I'll eat the "sauce-soup"). I made hubby apple muffins and used the leftover apples for applesauce. Honey crisps are out and they're the BEST for apple sauce.
Almost time for mums and fall flowers. I decided no fall veggie garden because the spiders are so prevalent and the temps are all over the map. Also, I've got a packed schedule and watering a garden wasn't going to work. See you in the spring, my itty bitty garden.
Today I'm getting SNS removed and hitting Target for Brach's candy corn for my sister's visit. Can't find Brach's anywhere yet -- Target has a chance to be a fall hero. If I'm feeling the mood, I might take a peek for some mums too. I'll have new polish on and that's my hesitation -- maybe that should wait. I'm bound to smudge it.
Picked hubby up last night. It's good to have him home. Between the CO wedding and his trip to France, it's been a couple of weeks. I'm set for a nice weekend together. Monday starts a full social calendar -- I'm taking a little breath before it begins.
I had a coaching call yesterday and I talked about how October was feeling too much. After lots of talking, she reminded me it's as simple as remembering to have fun. Stop asking myself how I'm going to get it all done and ask myself how can I have fun today. Much better question. Much less stress producing. Much less pressure.
Fun for the win and it's all about fun this month -- I just forgot and got caught up in the weeds.
Hope you're having a good week and safe from the big storm. Later gators.
