MY OTHER RECIPES

Excitement.

I know, I know.

My husband blames it on me for “over-doing it” this year with Halloween. Which, I clearly did NOT. We hung up a total of one Halloween decorations on our porch and two nights ago we finally carved pumpkins.

That’s it.

He says that it’s because I bought them new Halloween costumes…

The 10 year old is going as a ghost (an $8 costume from Walmart). It’s basically a sheet with eye holes.

“When I was a kid I never got a new costume,” he says, “I was always what my brother was the year previous.”

Well excuuuuuse me… {giant eye-roll}

It’s clearly the candy that she’s excited over, right?!

And who wouldn’t be excited about getting to go door to door, dressed up, and get free candy out of it?

The only thing that’s not cool about the whole situation is getting up at 6am, standing a few inches over your sleeping mother’s face in the pitch-black darkness, staring at her until she feels some creepy presence in her room and then she wakes up totally freaked out.

Not cool.

You know what else is not cool? This soup. Because it’s supposed to be served hot… duh! 😉

It’s a totally delicious and hearty tomato based soup that’s filled with plump chicken, tender penne noodles, and loads of parmesan cheese. It’s the perfect way to warm up this Fall and winter!
