Hello everyone,
I am glad you came by as I have set the table and I have made some comfort food for us. With the cooler and shorter days I enjoy spending more time in the kitchen as I am sure you do also.
Today, I am using my red and white transferware that has been collected over time and here and there.
I have made a simple meal of comfort foods-oven roasted vegetables,quinioa,whole wheat raisin scones and gingerbread cake. I love the aroma of oven roasted veggies cooking in the oven.
Love this toile candle.
I am still able to pick some roses in the garden-but not for much longer.
I make these scones often.
oven roasted root vegetables
This easy gingerbread cake is a nice fall dessert.
and a cup of tea is always a comfort. There are so many lovely food blogs that I am a little embarrassed to show my humble meal but I sure do enjoy being inspired by you all!
Last roses of the season- perfectly imperfect!
Take care,
Carolyn
Even a toile candle - I am amazed about these DETAILS!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn,
ReplyDeleteI love the way the placemats set off the transferware. They are just perfect.
Love the comfort food. It looks, and I'm sure smells!, delicious!
Hello Carolyn, everything matches so well it is a beautiful table and the cakes look delicious but are they slimming?? I love the candle and the placemats. It has got a got colder here in the UK, so we too are eating warming comfort food.
