Well it’s October and you know what that means…pumpkin spice everything. Sometimes I wonder how I lived my life before pumpkin spice was a thing.

You know what time of year it is??? It’s the season for soups! Autumn is by far my favourite season and where I live it is unfortunately a short one. So I extend my season of soups into Winter as well. I can’t believe it is the end of September already. Next week I will …
