It finally feels like autumn! I LOVE FALL. It's my favorite season hands down. I love everything about it. The weather, warmer clothes, the leaves, the colors and the food. Butternut Squash Soup, here I come!

PS: I'm back to 'normal' eating. But here's the healthy eating plan going forward: less sugar (way less), little white flour and MORE VEGGIES. That's the biggest goal...incorporating more vegetables into every meal. I'm sure I'll be posting more on that!
Okay, it's the end of this post...you know what that means...time to share your menu for the week!
