im so excited that its fall! oficialy, were in the fall season and it makes me happy and warms my soul. (you should know that instead of "warms", i accidently typed "worms")
Today i made this wreath...i think it makes me feel more festive if i decorate my house, or front door, with seasonal decor...you know, so the neighbors can know that its fall. i made a loaf of banana bread the other day and even though, i suppose bread isnt considered fall-y, it made the house smell delicous and sweet. these are the kinds of things that i want to do (and eat) all day long in this crisp, cool weather...starbucks caramel apple cider (also known as "cac" for arwen and other starbucks employees), toasted pumpkin seeds, carmel corn (moms recipe of course), i want to go for a walk everyday...eric doesnt usualy want to, but sometimes i can make him come with me and it is a joyous occasion, i also want to eat soups of all sorts and kinds...potato cheese soup, broccoli soup, chicken noodle soup and my fave- minestroni. in honor of my old friend, DWITGER and in the spirit of fall i will give you the very first recipe i ever made- minestroni.
Minestroni Soup
ingredients:
2 carrotts 1/2 can kidney beans
1/2 and onion 1 can stewed tomatoes
2 celery stalks 3/4 can tomatoe sauce
1/2 of a zuccinni 1/2 pack italian sausage
2 red potatoes 1 sprig rosemary- fresh
salt and pepper to taste
dice all vegis. put small amount of ovile oil into pan and soften, brown onions, then add carrots and then other vegis. pour into crockpot, add remaining ingredients and let simmer 2-5 hours. (depending on your heat setting) turn the temp up to high, for a quicker meal.
* i like to add a little red pepper flakes or tobasco, for a spicy version!
