Whats for Dinner? Baked Potato Soup

After working outdoors today husband and I were really hungry and I needed to make a hearty meal that would satisfy our appetites.  So I checked to see what ingredients I had and  baked potato soup is what we are having for dinner tonight. 

Know that I always make extra baked potatoes because this is the main ingredient in this soup, if you do not eat them you can freeze them and use them later for soups, hash browns and stews.

So today we are working in the yard and while we work I am slow cooking the potato soup.  Stopping periodically to stir the creamy potato soup so that it does not stick.  Later I will run to Panera bread company and pick up some dinner rolls or a loaf of French bread.  

Then I will harvest some herbs from the garden, chop them and blend into whipped butter. Herb butter sure does taste good and I think it will compliment the hearty potato soup.  Baked potato soup is one of my favorite soups.  It is comfort food that is so very satisfying.  Here is my mothers recipe.  

Here is another favorite creamy potato soup that I think you will really enjoy.

Fall Fashion Looks: Autumn Leaves

When it comes to dressing for the fall season I like to put together outfits that are the same colors as the autumn leaves.  Normally I shop for casual looks that feature the colors of brown, gold, and orange and tend to wear t-shirt outfits that are comfortable because my husband and I enjoy outdoor autumn.  These casual fall looks are perfect for outdoor activities; long walks at the park, watching birds and wildlife, autumn church bizarre and festivals, corn mazes, and backyard gatherings with friends.  

Here is an outfit that I designed at Zazzle if features a golden color sweatshirt with autumn leaf print with matching leggings.   You can see from this fashion set that it is fall look that could be a favorite. In a word, I think this casual outfit is perfect for the fall season.  What do you think?




Know that it does get cool in the fall.  Like today the high is 70 degrees but tonight's low will be 43.  If you are planning on being out from dawn to dusk then it is smart to take along a hoodie, jean jacket, or sweater.  During the fall season, the weather can change very quickly, and is best to take along outdoor attire.
