October is likely my favorite month of the year. I love the cool nights, warm days, bright colors, yummy foods & fall flavors.
And, October happens to be the birth month of my adorable little sister.

I say little as an older sister always will, but she’s turning 25 this week, and I can’t believe it. This also means, I’ve got 4 months until I turn 30. But, let’s not talk about that just yet.
Last week, our highlight was a new recipe – a roasted vegetable mac & cheese from Gimme Some Oven. I’ll be sharing our tweak on this recipe later this week.
To celebrate the beginning of fall, we made our veggie-filled broccoli cheddar soup. Tastes like the beloved broccoli cheddar, but better!

I had to pin that soup, not sure how I missed it on your site! I've tried a few Broccoli Cheddar Soups lately and haven't been too impressed, love the added veggies in yours. Oh and I know the feeling, I turn 30 in March and my brother is 25 (though we have a sister in between). It feels so weird to say I'll be 30!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea we were the same age!! I've got you beat by a month, so I'll let you know how 30 feels come February :)
DeleteLooks yummy and fall-ish!!! It's not that cool here yet - we're getting nighttime temps in the 60s though, so I'm not complaining!
