Hello!

Hooray! You've found the home to my new blog!

Is fall too late to set New Year Resolutions? Maybe we can call it an Autumn Inspiration, because something has inspired me to get organized this season, and believe me, when that type of inspiration hits, I do not stop to question it.  I have organized closets, files, even that basket in the kitchen that everything gets thrown into (Okay - sorting through that actually was one of my New Year Resolutions.) Now that I've gotten my house mostly together, I decided it was time to give my website a good dusting off … which resulted in a complete overhaul … which resulted in a brand new blog! HELLO!
​

And because it's fall and I'm a pumpkin-a-holic, I thought I'd start off this blog with one of my favorite soups.

THAT'S RIGHT PEOPLE, I'M SHARING A RECIPE!

​I know, it's a blog first, but don't get too scared, this was given to me years ago by my sister-in-law, Shauna, who is an amazing cook. Plus, it's so simple and easy that even I can't mess it up, which makes it even better! In fact, I just whipped up a double batch this afternoon.
​

Shauna's Pumpkin Soup
1 large can of pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling!)
1 can chicken broth
1 can water
1 can condensed milk (I like to use 2%)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Cinnamon
Curry
Cumin
Ground pepper
Sour cream

Add chicken brother, water, and pumpkin. Stir while heating over medium flame. Add brown sugar and spices to taste. Stir in milk and turn off heat. Serve with a spoonful of sour cream.

​Told you it was easy! Enjoy and thanks for stopping by ... and if you'd like a peek at some of the stories I've been working on, be sure to check out my home page.
