For some reason I’m reluctant to admit that fall is here. Normally I welcome it with open arms. It’s my favorite season of the year, after all. I just don’t feel ready for it. Perhaps I’m afraid that I’ll blink and miss it. Soon the leaves will slip silently to the ground, leaving a cold,…

Creamy Potato and Bacon Soup
For as long as we’ve been married (and before), Reuben has worked construction. We’re so #blessed that he gets to work with his dad and brothers and a couple of friends.

This post was originally published on September 4, 2012 on Cooking for Seven. My favorite fall/winter supper is soup. Once you know the basic steps for most soups, it’s so easy to customize and create to your preferences. And there’s just something cozy about a bowl of steaming soup. But on to the soup at…
