Oh how I adore the fall and all it’s wonderful flavors! Don’t you love hot mugs of steaming soup on chilly days? I’ve come up with a recipe made from all my favorite fall flavors…butternut squash, crisp apples, salty bacon, sultry onions and warm garlic. There’s even a splash of white wine and a smattering of sage and a final swirl of heavy cream. Hmmm……I wish I could share with you how good my kitchen smells right now!

Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese Croutons
What’s more comforting than a rich bowl of creamy, warm tomato soup? Maybe with a little sass added to it, a few ingredients to kick it up a bit. A dash of basil, a glug of heavy cream, a pinch of crushed red pepper, a smidge of sundried tomatoes. Blend it all together, put grilled cheese croutons on top and you’ve got dinner worthy, guest worthy soup. And it’s soup-er easy to put together. In fact, I bet you already have most of the ingredients in your pantry right now!
Homemade Chicken Soup
Chicken soup is all about love! What’s the one thing you want to eat when you’re feeling under the weather? Chicken soup! Because it’s loaded with vegetables, it really does help you to get better. It’s got lots of nutrition and a hot mug will warm you down to your toes on a cold winter’s night.
Chicken soup, homemade and savory, is super easy to make. Ideally, you’ll start with the leftover chicken frame and meat from your homemade roast chicken but in a pinch, a rotisserie chicken will work fine. This is an easy recipe to add to your collection and one you’ll make again and again, I promise!
Sweet and Spicy Apple Butter
Fall is in the air. Leaves are turning, apples are ripe for the picking, pumpkins appear on doorsteps. It’s the season for all things apple!
I adore apple butter and I’ve discovered how really easy it is to make. What I love about this recipe, other than the warm fragrance of apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves filling your kitchen, is the fact you don’t have to peel a single apple. When you’re staring 6 pounds of apples in the face believe me, you’ll be glad not to have to peel them!
