There is something about the shorter days that I love. I know after Christmas I'll be begging for summer, but right now I am loving the early dinner times, getting in our p.j's and watching movies in my bed well before bed time, the Christmas movies they are already starting to play,and the extra family time.
Its a nice change from our busy lifestyle. I feel like things are slowing down and I like it. Although, the time change has been rough on me. I'll just take a little time to adjust. Another one of my favorites is cooking. Cooking soup in paticular right now. Its cooler outside and nothing is better than a hot bowl of soup on a cool night, throw in a glass of wine and its darn near perfect!
Last night, I cooked a new soup from a recipe I found on Pinterest. It ended up turning out great. Ava was of course the only one who didn't like it. As for me and Eli, we polished off 3 bowls each. Yep, thats right. 3 bowls! It was that good. Here's the link to the recipe if you're interested, tomato basil parmesean soup. We will definatly be making it again!
There is also something about being in my kitchen cooking, its a peaceful feeling for me. I love food, I love cooking food, and I love making people happy with good food. Since Evelyn has been here I have really slowed down in the kitchen, cooking a lot more meals that last several nights, so I'm not cooking every night, which has really been great and helpful. But I do miss it. Its part of who I am and it makes me feel good. I plan on spending more quality time with my kitchen, I thinks she's missed me:)
f.y.i. the soup tastes and smells a lot like brushetta, so if you like brushetta you must try it!
Happy Fall Y'all!
I love the same things about fall....slowing down and shorter days! And of course, cooler weather! That soup looks delicious...I'll have to try it out.
