If by any chance at all you needed yet another reason to love fall (and winter for that matter) is soup. Every year when we would come home for Christmas, my family would do a 'Soup Night'. Each family is to bring a pot of soup, preferably a different soup than someone else, label your bowl and dive in ladle after ladle. We absolutely love Soup Night because you have such a variety of soups to eat and it's so good and cozy!
This past Saturday we celebrated this quarter's family birthdays (yes we are now on a quarterly basis because there are so many of us.....9 kids + spouses and 30 grandkids), cheered on the Huskers as they played Ohio State and had a soup night.
Soup Nights are perfect for a little twist on a traditional pot-luck or even a small gathering of friends.
Here's what else was on the menu from Saturday....
Maryland Crab
Sweet Potato & Sausage
Chicken Tortilla
White Chicken Chili
Thai Mushroom
We also had lots of wine and cheese and antipasto platters with marinated artichokes, prosciutto, salami, mushrooms and olives (another one of my favs...although we were missing dolmades--stuffed grape leaves---huge weakness of mine). I wish I would have taken a picture of the antipasto platter, it was so pretty....much more pretty than our pathetic looking cheese platter we threw together :)

Happy Souping!
Almost everyone LOOOOOOOVES fall, right? I know we do and The Hubster told me since I never got around to making our Spring favorites (more or less for him) I should compile our favorite fall items for this year. So here we go...mama, papa & baby girl!
Neon Animal Print Scarf | Burlap | Apothecary Vases | Floral Lace Tights | Hunter Violet Boots | White Pumpkins
I recently purchased three apothecary vases from Michael's using 40% OFF coupons and right now they are filled with Halloween colored candy: Candy Corn (my fav!)
As for the burlap.....sooooo many crafting projects that it can be used for....banners, candle wraps & table runners...oh my!
Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins | Pint Tumbler | TwelveSouth BookBook | BOSS Wool Scarf | Wild Hog Pumpkin Ale
The BookBook is seriously awesome. My hubby absolutely LOVES it and has been complimented on it quite a bit. The one pictured above fits the iPhone 4/4S, however the new BookBook for the iPhone5 should be available next month.
P.S. This Pumpkin Ale is probably the best and I mean THE BEST pumpkin beer we have ever tried...EVER!
The adorable apple hat was purchased from Gap in the middle of summer and I don't think it's available any more (at least it's no longer offered online). Once I saw it, I had to have it for all the cozy fall activities we had planned.
Hoping everyone has a great weekend....we are planning a Spooky Friday Night Movie Night this week...EEEKKKK....CAN'T WAIT!!!!! Happy Friday Eve!!!
