An Autumn Lunch

Nothing says fall more that a tasty bowl of homemade soup, I enjoyed a bowl of this homemade butternut squash soup that I made on a whim the other day.  While pursuing the isles of Whole Foods, I saw that the Farmer's Market canned Organic Butternut Squash was one sale, and one the back of the can, a recipe for the soup, come to find out, Farmer's Market Foods has tons of great recipes.  I topped my with some homemade croutons and Parmesan for a little bit of a twist, yum!   What's your favorite cozy up, autumn meal? 

The kitchen is done!

Time to get cookin' !!

We used standard Ikea 12" cabinets (which had the specialized "guts" we needed) combined with simple wooden shelves to build this pantry area for the back of our kitchen.  My mom came into town and helped me to get it primed, painted, and finished off...thank goodness, it was a huge job!

I found these handles at a junk shop months ago, I had no idea what I would use them for, but loved them!
