In a Homemade Happy Life

 

Stuffed Squash

Hello Friends,

Not sure I want to heat up the kitchen, we currently are at 90 degrees as I write this on the last day of August. I am ready for a cold north wind and the comfort foods that autumn brings.  

Taco Soup

 

Nachos

 

I open the door to the oven - warmed kitchen and smell my childhood ... a happy homemade happy life!

 

Wishing you a beautiful September. 

Can you believe I just wrote September?

  2. Happy September! Time flies, doesn’t it? I am a summer lover but I can say I am ready for fall!
    That ending quote was perfect!

  4. Your stuffed squash, taco soup, and nachos look delicious, and they are surely comfort foods for the colder days. It's chilly here in the mornings, and I can feel a change. I'm so glad you had a homemade happy childhood, Carla. Me too. It's a good foundation to start out with.

    Happy September!

  6. The stuffed squash looks delicious and the presentation is beautiful! Yes, our summer here in Montreal has been extremely hot and humid. Thank goodness the temperatures (for now) are more comfortable, in the 70s Fahrenheit or low 20s Celsius. But in Montreal our temperatures can change very quickly, so I am enjoying this while we have it!

  10. It will be nice here for a while, but I'm also having those feelings for "fall foods". I made pumpkin bread the other day. Your dinners look fabulous!

  14. Your food looks so good! Are you guys going to be in a heat wave this week? We are- it's going to be 95 tomorrow! But it looks like by the weekend, our temps will be more moderate.

  15. Oh Carla, I too am so ready for Fall. This extreme heat and summer of drought has been hard to deal with. Your food looks delicious.

  16. Oh gosh, that is hot! I am sure the weather got the memo here that it's September and it has cooled right down. We're in the low 60's today and it looks like rain!
    I have never had taco soup before but I always think it looks so good!
