It starts at the very beginning of fall when we are all eager for the very first day temperatures drop even the slightest. We pull out the tall boots, layering pieces and throw on our ponchos for a cozy, comfortable outerwear look. But then it gets colder, and colder … and we soon loose track of the days as our ponchos become layering pieces underneath our layering pieces. Eventually they just become stylish indoor wrap blankets, or better yet a fashionable snuggie. That is until temperatures become acceptable to wear outside again as a warm throw. These ponchos from Kensie are our absolute favorite pieces this winter because they are super soft and can be worn with everything from our pjs to our snow boots! They were the perfect layering pieces for our time out on the farm and you can be sure we will both be packing them along when we head home for the holidays!

There is nothing more satisfying on a cold, chilly night than a homemade bowl of warm soup or chowder. It has become a weekly ritual in our household to try a new recipe and save our favorites. A pot full of soup in the fridge will feed us for days. It is a cost efficient and belly filling means to stay warm on cold nights. It all began thanks to my From the Farmer delivery and receiving two heads of cabbage, that’s a lot of cabbage! So I had to think of something to do with it… sauerkraut…kimchi… nope, both too complex. Due to a slam packed week and a limited window of opportunity I decided to go with soup – chop it up, add spices, cover. Too easy. Below is a basic, easy cabbage and potatoes soup recipe. The ingredients are simple and you can edit to your preference. This one pot soup is delicious and so easy to pull together. I went with the following: 2 tablespoons of olive oil 2 carrots, diced 2 stalks celery, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 6 cups vegetable broth 2 medium gold potatoes, diced 1/2 head large […]
