I keep thinking about how the seasons affect our food choices!

Not just fresh foods, but more the seasonings of the food.

Of course in the winter, we crave a creamy, thin soup or stew, where in summer, we prefer a lighter more broth based soup. No surprise there.

But the seasonings! Even though it is still in the 90’s quite frequently here in the Midwest, I’m no longer craving lemon and blueberry flavors. But I’m all in on pumpkin spice (cinnamon, allspice, cloves, nutmeg and ginger).

I get that they’re warm spices, and when the weather has a Fall chill, they sound particularly enticing.

But we don’t have any fall chill yet, and I’m already craving them!!! And I’m not a coffee drinker, so I can’t blame this on Starbucks.

Anyone else with me on this?

Maybe it has something to do with a recipe I’m working on for next week 🤭

I am now consumed with the tasks of hanging, styling and photographing

all the lovely stocking groupings!

It can be a slow and overwhelming task — mostly because I’m doing it under time pressure and

also because our home is in total disarray for 3 weeks, minimum.

I’m truly blessed that The Hubs is so patient!!!
