Welcome Home Saturday

Welcome Home Saturday – Fall Favorites! Fall decorating, mantel ideas, recipes and fall favorite things!

Happy weekend, friends! How was your week? Mine flew by. I’ve been decorating our home for fall and hosting our guests at our new airbnb! We have had 5 sets of guests so far and it’s been so fun getting to know them and making special gift baskets too! We are almost booked through Christmas!!

Our Bedroom Remodel

We moved into our new bedroom last weekend but most of our clothes are upstairs until I can get the closet organized. I need to install a closet system and I am trying to figure out how I want to organize everything. It feels wonderful! I am waiting on the curtains for our front window to come back in stock. I need the 105 inch ones and I’ve been waiting for three months so far for them to come back in stock at Target. But we did install the lights on our DIY wood headboard wall we built! I love the way it looks!

Bathroom Remodel

Our bathroom remodel is done! The glass installers came yesterday and installed the shower enclosure. It looks so great! Today we get to try it out since we had to wait 24 hours before we could use the shower so the glue dried.

New Projects

Boho Cozy Fall Mantel

I shared our fall mantel this week. It has a casual, boho vibe with rustic colors and textures. I shopped my home for most of it. I love the mercury glass candles and I did get some new $13 raffia pumpkin string lights. They’re so cozy and I have everything linked in that post!

Fall Boho Centerpiece

Boho Cottage Fall Tablescape

I also shared my kitchen dining nook all dressed up for fall! I made a DIY fabric runner, fabric-wrapped pumpkins and a footed bowl centerpiece!

Fall Soup Recipes

I love making soup in the fall. There’s just something so cozy about walking into the house to the smell of fragrant soup and breadsticks. Here are some of my favorite soup recipes, PLUS my mom’s famous and quick breadsticks!

Creamy Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup with a Kick is an easy soup to make with a light, satisfying flavor. The peppers in the soup add just a tiny bit of kick to the taste. It's the perfect soup to celebrate the transition of summer going into fall with fresh lemon, Anaheim peppers, garlic, fresh herbs and the satisfying taste of orzo to give it a hearty base.

Orzo Lemon Chicken Soup

One of my favorites! Soft orzo in a creamy chicken sauce with veggies and a little kick!

Pressure Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup. This comforting potato soup will satisfy everyone in your family. Use your pressure cooker and you can make it in under one hour!

Loaded Baked Potato Instant Pot Soup

This ons is so easy to make and quick because you make it in your instant pot!

My favorite soup!

This is my favorite soup of ALL time! My daughter asks me to make it at least once a week. And it’s easy because you make it in the crock pot! I also have another Low-Carb Tuscan Soup if you are looking for a low-carb version!

Quick and Easy Fantastic Breadsticks!! These are seriously the easiest breadsticks to make. They take about half an hour to make, so they are perfect to pop in the oven as I make dinner. They cook while I make the main dish. And they smell and taste FANTASTIC.

Mom’s Famous Breadsticks!

This is my mom’s recipe and one that she made as we were growing up all the time! The best part about this recipe is how FAST it is! I can make up a batch of these breadsticks while my soup is cooking and they smell so good! I always make my mom’s breadsticks and my pumpkin chili every Halloween night – it’s a traction!

Low Carb Breadsticks Your Family Will Love

The Easiest Cheesiest Low-Carb Breadsticks!

If you are eating low-carb, these breadsticks will save your life! They are seriously as good as mom’s breadsticks but without the carbs. So cheesy and good!
