Ahh, another day in which I was able to get (comfortably) by in light layers. For as long as I can remember, I've always been one to layer my clothes. I'm thankful I live in a climate zone that boasts three consecutive layer-friendly seasons. I will be a little sad to see summer leave only for its bright colors and long hours of daylight, but apart from that I'll deal with its departure until it returns again. On to Autumn, I say! With that said, yesterday my mother and I were discussing our excitement over autumn soups while visiting with a cousin of ours. Homemade soups really are the perfect meal. Not only are they delicious, but they warm you from tip to toe on those crisp & chilly days when you're already bundled up for extra warmth. Dutch ovens often make for the best vessels to simmer your favorite soup in. Just imagine: you're all snug and cozy in a pair of tights and an over-sized cardigan while a vegetable medley or creamy chowder is bubbling away on the stove top. Mmm! Cookware.com (an affiliate of CSN Stores) has a fine array of cooking tools for any cook on any budget. Check 'em out!
Tell me, what are you most looking forward to cooking or baking when the season changes?
P.S. I'll be reviewing a product from CSN Stores in the near future, so check back for that! I've been browsing through their many different stores, but I think I already know what I'll select. There's a hint in one of my recent posts!

Cream of Mushroom soup! I cannot wait! It has been much too hot for the boy to make it. I know that Cream of mushroom soup conjures up horrible flavors coming out of cans, but the boy makes his to perfection, just the way the Barefoot Contessa prescribed.
I would love a dutch oven, right now we just have a really basic stock pot from Target. Can't wait to see your review!
I'm gonna miss summer... :\ but my sis and I were talking about the oven today too and how nice it'll be to be able to bake again!
Also, lovely photos!
I love homemade soup too! Spicy pumpkin with lots of ginger!
Porridge for breakfast, lots of hot chocolate instead of juice and soup soup soup! Gosh, I love autumn!
I think this winter will have to be the winter I finally crack making soups. I know it's ridiculously easy, but I have a bit of a horror of things that take a long time to cook!
And when I get back to a place where the oven is not full of cockroach killer again, I will be delighted to return to baking.
P.S. I confess I'm not sure what the birds are symbolic of, on my blouse, if anything. Birds and flowers seemed to be the main motifs on the blouses when I was buying them, I assume they are simply nature-inspired.
regarding your question about parsnips. ive used them in vegetable soup before. they are kinda blah put in a soup they sort of take on what ever flavor they cook in. they definitely dont have a strong flavor like carrots, but definitely try the recipes, above all they are pretty good for the body.
