Welcoming to October! Let's Eat! ( TFT Party!)

Good morning and happy October, friends! Can you believe that? Already October now. I’m so grateful for the Fall months. They truly are my favorite time of the year. I am, however, desperately looking forward to the season’s cooler weather. Living in Northern California has been quite a roller coaster the last few weeks. 

(My Hubbard Home's Autumn Apple Crisp with Walnuts has my mouth-watering.)

Happy Fall/Autumn, Officially! Incredible Autumn Inspirations

Hello friends, and welcome to the Thursday Favorite Things party.  I finally get to say Happy Fall, officially. Yay! I won't dwell on the fact that we are suppose to be in the 100's again this week, I'm just going to live in a little denial and enjoy that since Fall has arrived, my favorite temperatures are sure to shortly follow. I hope you are all having a wonderful week. I hope this party and the features we share give you a smile and some inspiration to fluff your own home, try a new recipe or learn a new DIY trick! Have a great weekend and please stay safe.  Here are some of my favorites from last week's party!

Savory Roasted Pumpkin Soup

It is that wonderful time of year in which pumpkins are everywhere.  I am in love with Autumn/Fall! (this is no secret to my regular readers)  Although, I do not participate in all things Halloween, I do so enjoy the Harvest time.  So many wonderful and different varieties of vegetables are available (as long as you are not intimidated by them).  

After I became "differently-abled" I volunteered at our local food pantry and soup kitchen for about 6 or 7 years, everytime the loads would come in from the stores and local farms, with a variety of beautiful squash, most everyone looked at me and said, "Theresa, we have more 'gourds' for you." They thought them only good for rustic, harvest-themed table decoration and never did add them to our food give away.  Very seriously, the public's loss was my gain.  At one point. I even offered to print up recipes to go with the ingredient, but I was overruled as it being "too difficult" of a fruit/vegetable for most people to work with. So, now, finally, I have the voice, and platform, here to tell the Public, that the opposite is true! They are very easy to work with!
