Jessica's News
I am so thankful we have started having cooler evenings. It is so nice to go home, sit in the back yard, and just relax. I have decorated for fall and Halloween and love to just sit and enjoy it. I have been craving different soups. I love to make home made vegetable soup with hamburger meat in it. I usually freeze my leftover already seasoned vegetables and save them especially for soup season! It makes it taste so much better. If you have a favorite soup recipe that your family raves about, stop by and share your recipe with me for me to try on my family. I hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween. Try not to eat too much candy! |
