Yummy Fall Food


I made my first ever fall-themed meal this past weekend (with the much needed help of my sister.) I had to do something to take my mind off of the Chocolate Covered Raisin Incident of 2009. (Our pup is fine now, just to let you know.) The next night my husband and I had the leftovers for dinner and it was still delicious!


The extent of my fall decor is that fall colored bow with the hurricane and candle. But say hello to Pork Chops with Sweet Potato Chutney and Gingered Pumpkin Soup!

I found the recipes on Better Homes and Gardens' website. Mmmm, it was good! I preferred my soup a bit sweeter than the recipe made it, but adding more brown sugar was an easy fix. You can't go wrong with brown sugar! And I got a little fancy with my pumpkin seed garnish. **insert giggle here**


Try the recipes out if you'd like. If someone as special needs as I am when it comes to cooking can do it fairly easily, I promise you can too. (Ask my sister or husband about watching me cook. It's painful. I have a stab wound scar on my index finger to prove it.)
