  22. Soups are so delicious this time of year! I love to be adventurous with the flavors. You are so organized and well-planned with your menus. I am really working on that, especially with the crazy schedule our kids have us under. I just want to enjoy our family time at the table at home every night. That definitely takes planning!

    Have a wonderful week, and as always, thank you so much for hosting On the Menu Monday!
