I bought these fall flowers at the grocery store and the colors motivated me to make some yummy fall meals. This is Elysian Bisque or….. otherwise known as carrot soup. It is our favorite homemade soup. It is made with lots of carrots, celery, mushrooms, onions all sauted with a few slices of bacon. Add a couple of cans of chicken broth…..then you whirrr it all up until it is smooth. Add a small amount of half and half, a sprinkle of thyme, salt and pepper and you are good to go.
It is just the best!!It is a smooth slightly creamy flavorful soup. My husband says it is whole food, filling and something you might find on the menu at a fancy restaurant. 🙂 How about a simple spaghetti dinner?I made the meat sauce using ground turkey instead of ground beef to make it more healthy.We also had a nice green salad…made with fresh spinach, pears, sliced almonds, craisins and a few raspberries. For the centerpiece I used a small pumpkin and put it under a glass dome.
Can I tell you how much I love this pig!He is just my favorite decoration.
Just a simple spaghetti dinner at home made a little special with some fall decor.
How about a little fall brunch?
A fun fallish napkin with a fun yellow silk flower sitting on top. Gold goblets, orange placemats, and large fall leaves.
Some Yummy pumpkin ginger waffles, orange juice and scrambled eggs.
Enjoy the fall days and nights…make your meals a little more special.

Karins KottageWelcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with!
You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too!
I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
