I MUST tell you a story about the first time I made potato soup. We had only been married a few weeks, and it was a cool Fall day. An ideal day for soup, right? I thought I would dive into one of the many cook books I had received as a wedding present. (Yes, they gave cook books as gifts back then.) (HUGE SMILE)

Anyway, Hubby liked potato soup with lots of cheese and cornbread. I worked in the kitchen most of the afternoon making sure I timed it just right, so everything was ready when he got home from work.

I had never made either one before, but I was confident I was making a great meal.

Mistake number one. I baked the cornbread in a loaf pan. Um..don’t ever try it. It will take hours to bake fully. And/or the top will be burnt to a crisp and the middle will still be doughy. Yep, You guessed it-That is EXACTLY what happened to me. I was SO embarrassed!

Hello everyone! I am happy to be here with you today. Are you feeling the Fall weather where you live? It has actually been chilly here. I know, that is crazy for Vegas, but it has been in the low 40s in the evenings. It is time for some hot chocolate, and homemade turkey chili and even my broccoli and shrimp skillet meal. Yum!

Today I have gone through my blog posts for my October Highlights. We are already half way through Fall. Thanksgiving is a few weeks away. Winter will be here in 5 weeks! And there are only just a few weeks until Christmas.
