Welcome back for another week of Friend Makin Monday!!
If you would like to participate do a post about your favorite things about Fall, then CLICK HERE to join in the fun!!
This week's prompt:
What are some of your favorite things about fall?
I love love love fall...I love wearing jeans and jackets, making soups and stoups, thanksgiving, shopping for the holidays and I love love love the fall weather...cool and crisp.
Jackets and Jeans!!
How Cute is this from All You website?
Two of my favorite fall dishes
Turkey Chili This is not the same recipe that I use but it is still Rachael Ray...Random Fact about ME-- Rachael Ray taught me to cook with 30 min meals...I mean how to chop, cook, and improvise!! I love this lady. If you ever need a gift for a wedding I would suggest a set of her cookbooks or dvd's!
Stoup definition?
"Thicker than a soup, thinner than a stew." Rachael Ray
Spaghetti and Meatball Stoup ( this is one that you have got to try!!)
I made Thanksgiving dinner for the first time last year. I mean everything...not the corn or sweet potatoes, (which is what I am usually asked to make.) I mean turkey, dressing, rolls and all the sides and desserts...beside the slightly burned pie crust (I know now to cover with foil except for the last 10 min) I think everything turned out pretty good.
I really enjoy this time of the year...there are so many sales!! This quote is from a new blog that I am following...Click on the quote to check it out! She is doing a McLinky called Weigh In Wednesday (in case you need some support losing a few lbs) LOL. I joined last week.
Shopping is a woman thing. It's a contact sport like football.
Women enjoy the scrimmage, the noisy crowds, the danger of being trampled to death, and the ecstasy of the purchase.

Fall is my favorite of all seasons...it's not to hot....not to cold...just right for getting outside! The trees start to change and the pumpkins that are growing beside my drive way have started to sprout flowers! Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Prize hog!... I mean... congrats!
I"m definitely a fan of Rachael Ray. I attended a taping of her show last season and decided to do it again. She's just so cute. And she has some great ideas.

Yeah for your first Thanksgiving. Doing the turkey is not easy. I got mine from our local grocery store and it turned out pretty well. Happy almost Fall.
