Since everyone loves fall so much and it's much cooler here this week I thought it would be fun to start a fall thread. What is your favorite fall soup or stew?
For me it's hard to decide between potato soup or chili. |

My grandma's goulash was macaroni noodles, burger, and tomato juice (as a kid I always thought of is as runny spaghetti) - is your's similar? |

Since we are in Texas, nothing is better to me on a cold crisp day than a big pot of Mexican taco soup and a pan of hot cornbread. |

Those all sound yummy! I like Cheddar Chowder, but I call it Ham and Cheese soup. It has chopped ham, carrots, celery and potatoes in a light cheesy soup. It’s one of my favorite comfort foods. |

It sounds like we need to start sharing recipes. Lol
My go to is no peek 5 hour beef stew. Dump all the ingredients in and then cook at 250 degrees for 5 hours. So so yummy. :) |

Karen, I have a recipe like that! You don’t brown the meat with this recipe…do you have to brown yours? I’m all for dumping, stirring and forgetting!!! |

When I was the Day care Director, one cold early winter day, when the north wind was steam rolling thru;one of the ladies who worked in the nursery, invited me to come to the kitchen and warm up. Well I was freezing, so I followed her. The smell was what she wanted me to experience, when she removed the crock pot lid. I almost swooned, as she put a bowl in my hand and invited me to serve myself. Then She pointed to the add ins on the counter behind me. It was so yummy, so filling and warm. Not to speak of easy.
Daycare Taco Soup 2 cans of chicken breast 1 can of diced Tomatoes 1 can of Rotel tomatoes 1 can of Ranch Style Beans (chili beans, if you live up north.) 1 can of pinto beans 1 can of whole kernel corn 1 Oz. Pkg. taco seasoning 1 Oz. Pkg. Buttermilk Ranch dressing mix 1 box of chicken broth or two cans 1 medium onion chopped up or two to three Tablespoons of dried onion flakes. Just dump everything in a big crock pot. Turn on high. Cook for 3 to 4 hours. Serve with an assortment of toppings, such as Tortilla chips or Fritos Shredded cheese Sour cream Ripe olive slices Green onions |

I just ordered a new can opener from Amazon. It is so easy to use. It is a manual one.
A neighbor found the remains of our neighbors daughter on the morning of the 14th day she was missing. He said they thought, at first, they had found a manakin. |

Marilyn, that’s such sad news, although I’m thankful that she was found so her family can get some closure.
Debbie, that’s correct…no browning of the meat. Dump, put the lid on and put it in the oven, :) |

Thanks for the recipe Marilyn! So sorry to hear about your neighbor's family.
I'm the master of dump and put the lid on LOL! (and mess making but that's a story for another day)
Another fall question - what's your favorite pumpkin thing - to eat of course? Mine is pumpkin ice cream. It makes a wonderful milkshake :) |

Heather, to answer your question, I would have to say pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting. It’s a family favorite too. But I love anything pumpkin is baked into.. :) |

Marilyn, thank you for sharing the recipe! I'm going to try it. I'm also so sad to hear about your neighbor...I was so hoping that they would have a happy ending to their story.
If anyone would like this.....
Cheddar Chowder
2 c. water 2 c. diced potatoes 1/2 c. diced carrots 1/2 c. diced celery 1/4 c. chopped onion 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper
Combine all together in a large kettle. Bring to a boil and let boil for 10-12 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, make a white sauce:
1/4 c. butter 1/4 c. flour 2 c. milk 2 c. cheddar cheese, grated 1 c. cubed ham
Melt the butter. Add flour and whisk until smooth. Slowly add milk and cook until thickened. Add cheese to white sauce; stir until melted. Add white sauce and cubed ham to vegetables that HAVE NOT BEEN DRAINED. Heat through and enjoy! Makes about 6 servings. |

Ooooohhhhhh, Heather....I don't know if I could choose a favorite pumpkin food, I've never met a pumpkin thing that I didn't love! Pumpkin pie would have to be at the top of my list, though. I have a couple of recipes for Pumpkin Chili that I want to try this fall. |

Pumpkin chili sounds interesting! I've never had it before but I think I'd try it.
I'll have to see if I can find the recipe for the chocolate chip pumpkin bars I made last year.
Do you get into Halloween? We don't. We live out in the country so there are no trick or treaters that come.

I love to decorate for Halloween but usually get like 3 (if any) trick or treaters on our street. I just love jack-o-lanterns so I have to decorate! |

I’ll have to post the pumpkin chili recipe. I made Marilyn’s Daycare Taco soup this week and it was very yummy! We don’t get trick or treaters out this far…just the grandkids. I decorate with lots of pumpkins just for us. |

I decorate for fall and sometimes make jack o lanterns out of pumpkins (sometimes time gets away from me and they just stay pumpkins) we just don't do anything for Halloween. I know some people love it like I love Christmas and go all out. I was just curious if any of you were that way. It was a lot of fun as a kid to dress up and get lots of candy LOL! What was your favorite costume as a kid? My favorite was the clown - no one knew who I was at school until I sat in my seat. |

Yes, it’s me I love Halloween and I go all out. With decorations everything. We dress up and have a little family party, I am always a witch and I have a fabulous Witchy outfit. And I love vintage Halloween anything and look for it all year long. My favorite holiday then Christmas is a close second. |

I got these 2 pumpkin recipes from a pumpkin recipe exchange a couple of years ago on the main forum. These are from Ginnybelle.
Autumn Pumpkin Chili
1 onion, chopped 1 green pepper, chopped 1 tbsp. oil 1 garlic clove, minced 1 lb. ground turkey 1 15oz. can pumpkin 1 14.5oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained 4.5 tsp. chili powder 1/4 tsp. pepper and salt, each
Saute the onion and pepper in oil in a large skillet until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Crumble turkey into skillet and cook over medium het until meat is no longer pink. Transfer to a 3 qt. slow cooker. Stir in the pumpkin, tomatoes, chili powder, salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours. Serve with toppings of your choice.
Pumpkin Enchilada Casserole
2 cups pumpkin puree 2 can (10 oz each) diced tomatoes with green chiles, divided 1 tbsp. chili powder 2 tsp. cumin 1/2 tsp. salt 2-3 cups diced, cooked chicken 12 6in. corn tortillas 2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
Preheat oven to 375, position rack in center. Spray a 13x9" baking dish with baking spray. In a large bowl, stir together pumpkin, 1 can tomatoes, chili powder, cumin and salt. Gently fold in chicken. Layer 1/2 of tortillas on bottom of dish. Top with pumpkin-chicken mixture, then remaining tortillas, then second can of tomatoes (juices drained), then cheese. Bake uncovered until cheese is browned in spots all filling bubbles, about 40-50 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving. |
