We Heart Fall

Last night my family had our anual Harvest Fest. We go and buy ingredients from the farmers market on Saturday morning for the meal. Then aunts/uncles/cousins/grandmas/brothers/sisters come over to my parents house for dinner. The menu:
Minestroni Soup with fresh vegetables (tomatos, carrots, grean beans, potatos, garbanzo beans, and more)
Garden Salad (cucumbers, tomatos, onions, homemade poppysead dressing)
Bread
Homemade peach pie (peaches from Farmers Market...so delicious)
Peach cobbler

We got in the hot tub and enjoyed the falling temperature. I all of the sudden got really excited for the cold temperatures coming our way and just might stop by the grocery store for wassel and a pumpkin candle.

Our garden is spitting out tomatoes like crazy so I've been eating pesto and tomato sandwiches like a mad woman. Sadly, the garden never produced any serious cucumbers or squash and the peppers are iffy. But we did get a lot of onions, lettuce, two strawberries, tomatoes and basil. Not bad for a first attempt. One day we'll have a big garden, and maybe even a green house too:
