The weather is getting ready to change. Are you here for it? Find a bundle of fun things to make and experience. Enjoy the world around you with great food and fashion.
Food
As they say, food feeds the soul. What better way to feed your body and your soul than with a recipe for delicious slow cooker scalloped potatoes? This is the ultimate recipe choice for when the thermometer dips a little. And, when life is busy, it is an easy option to lessen your domestic workload. Add in a healthy side salad and dessert of your liking to round it out for an appealing and appetizing meal.
If there are any leftovers, save them in an airtight container. Use them the next day for even easier meal prep. Load your plate with hearty seasonal vegetables such as roasted broccoli with olive oil and salt. Day-old baguettes can be spread with olive oil and garlic and roasted for the last few minutes with the broccoli for a warm crunchy addition.
Once you try this recipe, you will keep coming back to it. If you have not previously dived into the world of slow cooker recipes, now is the time. Slow cookers are not kitchen appliances of the past – they are workhorses of the present. They can do everything from a set-it-and-forget-it dinner to baking bread. Take one for a spin, and you will be hooked.
Blankets
The blanket is a versatile member of your home. It lies perfectly made on your bed (sometimes). It is thrown strategically across a chair showing its elegance or haphazard beauty. Now is a perfect time to pull out your blankets, quilts, and throws. Inspect your collection and make any repairs and clean as needed before they are needed to keep you warm and cozy.
Here is a helpful tutorial to guide you in mending your blankets.
If you are interested in changing up the look and feel of your home, nothing makes it easier than a new blanket. Take stock of what colors are in your home and make a purchase or two to liven it up or tone it down, depending upon your aesthetic preferences. Fall colors can mark the advent of a new season with rich tones.
Do not forget about the pillows! Coordinate or complement pillows and pillow covers with your blankets and current furniture. Consider chunky weaves or soft and fleecy coverings that just beg you to cuddle in with a good book on a relaxing afternoon.
Clothing
Changing up your clothing can give you a sense of who you are or an opportunity to be who you want to be on a given day. What you choose to wear is a way to identify your style in a given season.
As the weather changes, look for clothing that you can layer if the mornings are cool, and the afternoons see a significant temperature rise. Opt for pieces you can mix and match as the season and the years progress to save you money. Having a mainstay of time-tested pieces that you can fall back on time and again will make it easier to venture into trendier pieces, too.Â
When you are looking for on-trend clothing, look for smaller statement pieces such as a thick, seasonal scarf that you can layer on to stay both warm and fashionable. Knee-high boots in a variety of colors will add a lot of pop to your wardrobe, too.
Have fun with your life as the seasons change. Try new food, change up your home, and look for stylish clothing to make you feel good.
