Wow. It's getting cold. Fall is quickly passing us by and we find ourselves welcoming the chilly winter air. Today we bundled up in our wool layers and drank hot cocoa (with homemade whip cream. yum.) to keep warm.
We just started attending a sweet little Spanish group at a friend's farm on Mondays. We decided to come with some goodies, so we baked honey muffins, topped off with some of Mary Beth's nectarine jam straight from the opposite coast. (We did a trade a couple months ago. Jams from coast to coast!) It was so delicious. They were a hit for sure.
And after two hours of chilly outdoor afternoon play (we made rocket ships, collected treasures, and even went to the moon and back) we picked some carrots, chard, and kale for supper. I made dumpling squash soup. It was so very delicious. I got the recipe from the latest Martha Stewart magazine. What can I say? I'm a sucker for any magazine with pie on the cover! I highly recommend the recipe...so simple and delicious.
I loved cooking in the kitchen while the little one played in the corner. She had a Christmas tree with presents underneath, she was Saint Nicholas, and her doll carriage was the sleigh full of gifts. So sweet.
Happy Monday! No link list today. I'm beat! Next week...
