Fun Monday - Cold Weather Eats

Sayre Smiles is hosting Fun Monday today.  She says:


This weekend's cooler weather put me in a Fall state-of-mind and for the first time since last March, I wanted soup for dinner.  I heated up some chicken noodle soup which the Boy and I shared for dinner.  The Man had leftover pizza.  That craving got me to thinking - what do people crave when the weather gets cooler?  Sign up in comments, and I'll add your link to this post.


**********************************************************************
My craving isn't always what to eat, it's what to cook - although of course I do plenty of eating of these things once they're made.  When the weather turns cooler and I start to think of the upcoming holiday season, I get this irresistible urge to bake.  Serious baking too.  I want to make decorated and fancy schmancy cookies.  I want to make every flavor of quick bread I have a recipe for, chocolate, pumpkin, cranberry, etc...  And most of all, I want to roll pie crust.  I have been known to make as many pies as there are people on Thanksgiving.

I've never been a great baker and now I have a cranky oven to keep me from doing it... I wish I were, but if I baked, I'd be HUGE!

I tend to go with the more savory stuff - roasts, potatoes, soups.

Thanks for playing!!!

I love pie.
I had squash quick bread last year. It was delicious. I noticed that I was one of the few who bought it, although the pumpkin bread sold out fast.

I had a shower curtain in college that was the same dot patterns as on your blog background.
