There's always a big smile on my face this time each year...Autumn is here! It's without a doubt, my favorite time of the year. You can already feel it in the air here in Alabama! The rustle through the trees as the first leaves begin to change from green to a deep golden hue, the sight of a fun pumpkin patch decorated with yellow mums, and yes...even the spooky haunted house attractions that pop up throughout the city! I'm so excited about pumpkin pies, apples, pears, squash, cranberries, pumpkin spice everything, and hearty bowls of scrumptious SOUP!

I love to get up early [not too early] on Saturday mornings, especially in the fall and winter months, and put on a pot of something to slowly simmer as we watch the Tide Roll. Whether it is soup, stew or chili, it really is nice to sit down on weekend evenings and enjoy a great bowl of food, some bread, football, family and friends.
My favorite soup to eat on a cool day is chicken and dumplings (does that count as a soup?) I eat it like a soup, anyway. It spells "comfort" to me.
