fall is the time when i look for every opportunity i can to make soup, if it was solely up to me i could have it every day and every season (i'm the person that eats hot soup on a summer day), fall is the time when i can get away with making it a couple of times a week. it's so easy. cut up some veggies and throw them in a pot and see what happens. i love when i don't need a recipe to make something, but can just cook based on what i want at that moment.
this morning i couldn't decide. so i went for both coffee & tea. this morning i made a new mix cd because the ones we have in our car have been there since we were dating, i made a few for jordan and he made one for me.
this morning i edited photos, and will post things i have promised to post -- very soon!
until then,
i'll leave you with our mix we will be listening to on our drives to visit our family:

my first experience with spaghetti squash was in college, we lived in walking distance to the local farmer's market. my housemate, brittany was always making home dinners at the house while i ate peas out of tupperware. one night we made spaghetti squash and cutting it in half with our dull knives was near impossible. we through them in the oven whole with a few holes poked and they came out soft and delicious.
to cook your spaghetti squash...
poke a couple holes all the way through and place in oven at about 350 degrees for an hour or hour and a half depending on how big they are. (i cooked the small one in the photo for an hour and the larger a half hour more)
while your spaghetti squash is cooking...
make your favorite sauce, and if you would like make some noodles, i love the combo of angel hair pasta and spaghetti squash. try it! (if you do this you won't need as much squash)
when your squash is finished cooking in the oven...
cut it in half and when it has cooled off a little, get a fork and scrape the insides to set free the "spaghetti"
then...
serve on a plate with the noodles and your sauce, a little cheese and some bread!
and eat! this is such a good and healthy meal for this time of year, and spaghetti squash is everywhere! trust me... you will love it. let me know if you have any other recipes for spaghetti squash.
i was editing pictures, and this one came up from out trip to brown county. it was too beautiful not to post right away. it's crazy that we live thirty minutes from this place. jordan, ben, zach and lindsey... can we go back again soon?
jordan and i have this new tradition. we go to falafels in bloomington the first monday of the month for lunch. it's a great tradition, mostly because of the free fries with lunch on mondays. and jordan and i typically don't have lunch together, so it's extra special. also, today was a beautiful day to be downtown in bloomington.!
the grilled flatbread and fries are so good...
but the falafel. i don't know what we are going to do when we leave bloomington. because this is seriously the best falafel.
it's our little way of making mondays better, nothing like a nice lunch date to start the week!
we had a fun time celebrating jordan's parents at mo's in indianapolis.
here are some of the family having a good time...
the dessert above was definitely my favorite, half baked cookie with ice cream on top, so delicious! and evie really liked that menu... it was pretty cute! i'm very thankful to have married into such a fun and giving family, i can't wait for the holidays!
