Welcome to the weekend, my mates! Are you able to even consider that at this time 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 dwelling with sizzling tea and honey to appease my throat.
I’ve a stack of books (metaphorical, after all, since they’re all on my Kindle) and several other video games ready to be performed with the youngsters. They’re all dwelling at this time and I’m loving it. Now that they’re largely grown, it’s form of uncommon to have most of us at dwelling on the similar time, so we attempt to take advantage of it.
ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Soup season is formally right here, and I don’t find out about you, however I might fortunately stay on cozy bowls of soup all fall and winter lengthy. To make issues straightforward (and additional 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 easy potatoes, bursting with wealthy tacky taste. That is the form of facet dish that everybody remains to be speaking about, lengthy after the potluck is over. (And also you’re going to need a scoop of those potatoes alongside that incredible 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 facet 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 seemed. The florets had golden brown to barely charred edges, and vibrant inexperienced stems that weren’t mushy in any respect. This has change into one in every of my go-to snacks and straightforward sides when there are only a few of us at dwelling.
Traditional pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting are tremendous tender and moist, the form of dessert that melts in your mouth and makes you surprise why you ever waited till fall to begin 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 recreation, 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 recreation can truly be stress-free, this one is. It’s laid again, not aggressively aggressive, and interesting 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 loss of life 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 have the ability to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 ESV
