I thought I'd take a short break from furniture and other projects (to rest my two trigger fingers caused by my love and overuse of my HVLP) and to share some AZ fall. I wish it could be fall all year. Our weather has finally cooled, and we've had some much needed rain. One was a doozy of a storm, with hail that damaged almost everyone's car that was parked outside. I was home, and realized I was parked in the driveway because I had furniture projects going on, so I RAN to the playroom, dumped out a bucket of toys, moved the furniture aside and ran to the car with the bright pink bucket on my head to get the car in without a concussion from the gigantic hail! I pulled the car in before any damage, only to come in to find water POURING in through the dog door! It was unreal.
But after the storm settled, we looked up and saw this:
Hi, God.
It appeared to begin and end on either side of our cul-de-sac.
View from the backyard.
That cozy feeling I get every year kicked in.
I lit up my FAVORITE candle, Creamy Nutmeg...it makes the house smell divine.
And I made soup! I make all kinds of soup when the weather cools down, and I had to share this one with you because it is so delicious.
The ingredients are easy.
Brown and chop, and put everything into a pot to simmer.
Oh, man, is it good, especially if you make it the day before.
Here is the recipe. I hope it becomes a regular in your house as it is ours.

Looks delicious, and I love nutmeg SO very much.
On an unrelated note, I had my little blue cabinet in your party a week or two ago -- and I finally decided what to do with the giant empty spaces in those doors. Thought I would update you since I'm not sure it's link-party worthy, haha :)

Christa,
Looks yummy! I wanted to stop by and tell you that I followed your video tutorial about how you distress furniture. I really liked the result! I hope you don't mind, but I mentioned you and your tutorial in my blog and linked back to you! Thank you so much!
Kim :)
Yum!!n It looks and sounds wonderful!!
Glad your car didn't get damaged! Our pumpkin patch was destroyed by the hail but the house and such were just fine. Crazy fall weather.

I have this exact recipe and it is my absolute favorite soup! So easy to make, except for cutting up those darn veggies...I usually cheat and buy the slivered carrots!
That rainbow is gorgeous! What great photos! Your recipe sounds perfect for tonight. It's chilly and rainy here and a good night for soup! Hope you have a Happy Halloween.
Thanks! Now I'm starving! It looks really good!
I love the rainbows too! They make me feel like I'm 8 years old.
Have a great Halloween

Beautiful rainbow! I love them. So after I read this post, got up to check for the ingredients and now I am waiting for the ground beef to thaw out. I was planning on leftovers for today, but this soooo much better!!
Christa, The soup sounds wonderful and I am printing out the recipe. We love to try different soup recipes in this cooler weather. The rainbow is beautiful!
xo, Sherry
The pasta looks mouthwatering delicious, especially after a weekend of candy overload! What a beautiful rainbow,it was so worth the storm!
The soup looks so yummy and that rainbow! Wow!
That looks so good. We just had this soup at a restaurant the other night and it would so good to make it at home. Thanks so much! (beautiful perfect double rainbow picture!)
Oh, I just utterly adore rainbows. Rainbows and sunsets are my favourite things ever.
I did a blogpost quite a few months ago on a rainbow that appeared just outside our house but it was nowhere near as stunning as this one.
But can you beat this sunset post?!!
