Cozy, comfy fall food!

What a fantastic week for the weather!!! It's in the upper 60's in the mornings and only in the 80's during the day!! FALL has arrived! I feel so blessed to live in a part of the country where the weather has 4 distinct seasons and that next to spring, autumn is one of the best!  My girls have been an inspiration in my menu this week. Below are some pictures of Kait feeding Kinley some butternut squash, one of the only jar baby foods we have found that she will not spit back out! So I got to thinking, butternut squash, I've never tried to make anything with that!  Then what'd ya know, I turn on Food Network and one of their very talented hosts was making a butternut squash soup! The other inspiration I have is of course my sweet hubby who has recently begun his student teaching.  He has requested salad, salad, salad for lunches! Who knew he was so health conscience?! I have respected his reqest and gone on a quest for a variety of salads to keep it interesting and healthy.  As I browsed the selection of various fruits and veggies in the supermarket I ran across brussel sprouts and tomatillos, two more foods I've never cooked with, so you'll be seeing them on the menu for MPM on Orgjunkie!!! as well! I hope you all have a blessed and cozy fall week!

During my prayer time this morning I feel that God spoke words of strength and comfort to my soul, I was reminded that He is in control and will more than meet all of my and my families needs.  Make some time to spend time with your Maker and allow Him to walk beside you, you'll be glad you did!!  I hope you all have a very blessed week!
