CHANGING SEASONS

Simple Pleasures #13

What is the weather like where you are? I think we went straight from summer to winter here in Atlanta.

I know our winter weather is not as bad as most places, but suddenly having a high of 55 yesterday with rain, after shorts weather, felt pretty cold. 

So yesterday morning I got up early and switched out my summer clothes for fall and winter clothes before heading off to the thrift store where I found this amazing hand-painted toleware tray.

I think it is the largest one I have ever seen. It will be going into my Etsy shop soon.

Simple Inspiration

Lovely Reads

Cooler weather makes me long for comfort food. I loved coming home from school on cold days to the aroma of dinner cooking.

I love lentils, I love spinach, and I love butter beans, so this might be the perfect soup.

I love pasta any time of the year and this lemon garlic parmesan pasta sounds yum to me.

Sometimes you just want an old-fashioned dinner like easy chicken and dumplings.

My mom used to make the best beef stroganoff, but as I am not much of a beef eater these days I think I will try this mushroom stroganoff. 

You can find more modern-day comfort foods here.

Favorite Gluten-Free Recipe This Week

Thanksgiving is quickly approaching so how about some pumpkin pie snickerdoodle crumb bars? I dare you to try to say that fast ten times. 

Is it possible to gain five pounds just staring at that image? Don't answer that.

What I'm Reading

Have you read the Tradd Street mysteries by Karen White? The seventh and final book in the series is coming out on November 2.

Although I love all of her books, I will be particularly sad to see this series end. I love the combination of mystery and ghost stories.
The series is southern fiction with a paranormal twist set among Charleston's historic homes and the books keep you sitting on the edge of your seat.  

(I apologize if some of this is showing up in all caps. There appears to be a glitch either in my computer or in blogger.)
