It’s hard to believe that October is upon us. Very soon it will begin to cool off and fall will be sweeping in. The weather men are beginning to make comments about a “harsh winter.” While I’m not looking forward to that, I am looking forward to warm soups, comfort foods and everything pumpkin flavored. Our October Menu Plan certainly offers plenty of the comfort food.


My ideas of comfort foods are ones that remind me of my childhood- Chicken Pot Pies, Meatloaf, Beef and Noodles, and Mom’s Homemade Apple Crisp. We’ve got each of those this month. What comfort foods do you enjoy?
