I love fall too. I think if I made a list, everything here would be on mine! :) I just feel renewed in this cooler weather. I can breathe again!
ReplyDeleteI used to hate Fall. My Birthday is right after the Summer weather is completely gone {most years} and I always just wanted a swimming party {as a kid}. Now, however, Fall is my favorite and it's actually a Birthday *present*. :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I would love to have the recipe for jalapeno cheese soup. Uhhh....yummm!
Me too me too on the jalapeno cheese soup....I'll be your best friend!
ReplyDeleteI love fall too...today I tried pumpkin pie ice cream and it was to die for!
I just wing it... so you can play around with it!
ReplyDeleteBut here goes::
Slice a small onion and dump it into a big chunk of butter with some garlic salt and cook until soft. (I think that's called a rue) Pour in a large container of chicken broth and a large can or pulled/ boiled chicken. chunk up a small container of velveeta, a can of rotel, and chop up 5 or 6 fresh jalapenos (remove white part and seeds that contain most of the heat).
And waa-laa!!
You can substitute the jalapenos for canned asparagus for a similar soup that's not as hot but really good. :)
