What’s Cookin’ Wednesday September 10, 2008

Since we’ve been out of town for a week and I make a point of grocery shopping on Thursdays to get 10.00 off at a local grocery chain, the cupboards are bare.  Using what’s left in the pantry, I am going to throw together some grilled cheese and tomato soup tonight.

Today is actually the perfect day for such a meal as it is cloudy and chilly and feels like Autumn is on its way!  Ara and I ate warm maple oatmeal on the back porch this morning bundled up in jackets and a blanket.

Such weather begs the question, “What is your favorite Autumn meal?”
