In Honor of Fall…
Ooh! Fall…my absolute favorite time of year. Cozy sweaters and tall boots, the smell of cinnaman candles, Friday night lights, Starbuck’s caramel apple spice, and the first fire of the year (we don’t wait for winter, the very moment the temperature drops below 75 my husband has our fireplace a ‘roarin’). What is there not to love about this time of year…besides fantasy football ( I want my husband back!).
In honor of the most magnificent of all seasons…I give you a big ‘ol pot of soup and some caramel apples.
Chicken Tortilla Soup (Our Fave)

Preparatrion
