SOUPS

ROASTED GARLIC SQUASH SOUP

JOANNANo comment

Ahhh Fall…..how I love thee, let me count the ways! Looking at my Instagram the last few weeks I know I am not alone in this feeling. Fall just brings on such a cozy feeling and makes me want to fill my days with blankets, candles and steamy warm soups. Every since the temperature dropped in the slightest my fall vibes have been strong!

I have been craving soups daily and any time I enter a restaurant my eyes scan to the soup of the day selection. After eating a few sub par soups I knew I needed to correct situation. Enter this roasted garlic squash soup! It involves a mix of delicious roasted vegetables simmering together to make one amazing soup that I could eat for days.

Ahhh…I think it’s perfect that this JMS Hearts falls on Cyber Monday this week! So many good entertaining finds this season and I can’t wait to share all of them! Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend is the best time to shop for your entertaining needs since all the sales are on anyways – no point in paying full price next week!

I love this time of the year – everything feels so cozy and warm and I feel this is mainly due to the way we decorate our homes throughout the holiday season. On top of the fun Christmas decor, all our parties feel glamorous and special due to the extra touches that fill the home such as gold-rimmed glasses or festive platters. Below are a few items that caught my eye for the holiday season and I think they would make a perfect addition in the home this year!

If you are new here –  JMS HEARTS is a feature that I have created which showcases all my favourite entertaining finds for the season….aka everything that I heart ♥!

AUTUMN SANGRIA

JOANNANo comment

I am absolutely obsessed with sangria and cannot turn down a glass when it is offered! Personally, the sweeter the better from my perspective but all of them are equally delicious (red, white and rose). Whenever I go to a new restaurant/bar I enjoy trying out their version of the sangria that they offer. I am always surprised by the different flavour combinations one simple drink can provide.

Although typically the sangria cocktail is a summer drink (patio season is bliss), I wanted to bring it into the season with some additional fall flavours. Who wants to let go of a good thing just because the leaves are turning colour !? With the holiday season approaching, it is always a nice option to have on hand for drinks and sometimes even needed after all those family dinners (I kid – well maybe a little!) Bring on the autumn sangria I say! The more the better!
