Okay, so it's not really "cold", but for Floridians, it is! =) No, the leaves aren't changing colors. No, the ocean isn't chilled. No, we don't have snow. No, there's not much to our "seasons", but this weekend, we had some cold weather (in the 60s) and what a change it can put in your mood. We had a bonfire (two, actually), we made some soups (chicken vegetable on Friday and I'm making beef stew for tonight), took a trip to the pumpkin patch (again), we dressed in warm clothing to sleep in (then changed back into our flip flops by noon!) and we made hot tea and warm cinnamon buns in the morning. There's just something about this time of year that puts a smile on your face. We only have summer and fall down here, so we have to live it up when we get the chance. =) I'm planning on making pumpkin cookies tonight and doing the rest of my baking this Wedneday and Thursday. I love making soup by the way! I usually make large helpings of it and then we eat half for dinner and I freeze the other half for another day. It's nice for crockpot cooking as well. We usually do crockpot meals on Sunday afternoons and Monday nights. It's nice because if we're out and about, we come home to a warm meal and the house smells great! I'm getting motivated to have a soup-making day where I make tons of soup and then freeze it for when it gets colder. This Christmas, I'm asking Santa for a LARGE stew pot so I can make large quantities of soup.
What kinds of meals do you like to make this time of year? Let's hear 'em folks!

Hey Kelli, would love to have some of your soup recipes! Post them to me please! :)
I want a good recipe for beef stew, please share. I am going to make potato soup this week and I'm so excited about that. It is comfort.
