I feel a weakness coming on

Sorry for the lack of posts! I've been trying to keep up with my blog reading though. I've been keeping busy with my credential application and some other lovely things.



I've even resorted to eating apples in my car. At least I'm eating honeycrisps!



I visited my parents. They decorate their house every year with these Nightmare before Christmas wood cut-outs that my dad and sister made over 10 years ago.



They are pretty good actually!







Halloween is TOMORROW! I'm going to a halloween party and I still haven't thought of a costume. I'm not good at that sort of thing. Do you have any plans?

Last night I attempted to make Sweet Potato soup using a recipe from Cooking Light



The ingredients were simple. Cubed sweet potato, leeks, pancetta (it called for ham but we all know pancetta is better!) milk and chicken broth. I thought this recipe would be a snap!



I also made Cheddar-Green Onion biscuits from Williams Sonoma this recipe asked for bacon but I omited it. These biscuits were perfect. I think I finally figured it out. The key is sliced butter into tiny chunks and making sure the chunks do not melt!



I liked the soup but I need a stronger food processor. It had chunks of sweet potato in it. I threw in some cajun chicken sausage for smoky flavor and cajun seasonings and that seemed to really help. I guess I was expecting a super creamy soup and it wasn't. (It was tasty but needed something!) Next time I may try canned pureed sweet potato.

I'm not feeling so hot today. I think I'm coming down with a cold! Hopefully I'll get another honeymoon recap up this week. Andy has been so tired this week, I feel bad making him post one!
