Welcome to the weekend, my buddies! Are you able to even consider that at the moment is the primary of November? I’ve had a little bit of a bug all week, so I’m having fun with a lazy weekend at residence with scorching tea and honey to assuage my throat.
I’ve a stack of books (metaphorical, in fact, since they’re all on my Kindle) and several other video games ready to be performed with the children. They’re all residence at the moment and I’m loving it. Now that they’re principally grown, it’s form of uncommon to have most of us at residence on the identical time, so we attempt to take advantage of it.
ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Soup season is formally right here, and I don’t learn about you, however I might fortunately dwell on cozy bowls of soup all fall and winter lengthy. To make issues straightforward (and further scrumptious), I’ve gathered the top 10 fall soup recipes persons are cooking proper now.
This recipe for Dutch Oven Pot Roast is a timeless basic. Carrots and onions simmer within the wealthy broth for hours, whereas the meat will get so tender that it virtually falls aside by itself. How might we are saying no?
These Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes take a basic and make it even higher. We’re speaking about velvety clean potatoes, bursting with wealthy tacky taste. That is the form of aspect dish that everybody continues to be speaking about, lengthy after the potluck is over. (And also you’re going to need a scoop of those potatoes alongside that tremendous pot roast!)
Earlier than we transfer on, sure, I KNOW how bizarre this one sounds, however when you’ve tried this Cheesy Broccoli Cornbread, you’ll perceive. It’s the form of aspect that begins with “I suppose I’ll take only a small piece,” however all the time ends with me going again for extra.
The primary time I tossed broccoli florets into the air fryer basket, I truthfully didn’t anticipate a lot. However when the timer dinged and I opened the basket, I used to be thrilled with how attractive the Air Fried Broccoli appeared. The florets had golden brown to barely charred edges, and vibrant inexperienced stems that weren’t mushy in any respect. This has turn into one in all my go-to snacks and straightforward sides when there are only a few of us at residence.
Traditional pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting are tremendous tender and moist, the form of dessert that melts in your mouth and makes you marvel why you ever waited till fall to start out baking with pumpkin.
You’ll savor each spoonful of this M&M Ice Cream, the place the unmistakable crunch of M&Ms collides with the smoothness of luscious vanilla.
What I’m CRAVING: My brother made this Chicken Pot Pie Casserole this week and raved about it a lot that now I’m craving it! I’m placing it again on the menu for later this week, and my youngest son is thrilled about that.
My FAVORITE THING this week is that this new board sport, Wingspan. We performed it for the primary time only a week or so in the past, and we’ve performed it a number of extra occasions already. I adore it! If a strategy-based sport can truly be stress-free, this one is. It’s laid again, not aggressively aggressive, and fascinating with out being overly sophisticated. It’s nearly ridiculously enjoyable. Have you ever tried it?
What I’m LISTENING to: Night Diving and Willfully Blind by Max McNown. He’s a new-to-me country-folk artist that my son launched me to, and I’m actually having fun with his music.
“For I’m positive that neither dying nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor issues current nor issues to come back, nor powers, nor peak nor depth, nor the rest in all creation, will be capable of separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 ESV
Wishing you a stunning week full of little issues that make you smile!
