I had a fabulous weekend.
Let me say that again.
I HAD A FABULOUS WEEKEND!
On Saturday I enjoyed an amazing dinner at Far Niente with my brother and one of my dearest friends. The dinner was followed by the consummation of an adolescent dream: I saw Madonna in concert.
The 13-year-old within was overjoyed.
And Sunday … well Sunday actually topped Saturday as Mama Cream Puff and I spent a beautiful day in Niagara-on-the-Lake (oh, the fall colours!) shopping and enjoying some wonderful local food. We topped it off with a lovely tea at the Prince of Wales hotel.
Then I came home and baked a beautiful pie and tart.
The weather was just glorious; sunny and crisp with leaves everywhere.
Autumn, you truly are a gift!
So here’s hoping that this week is just as spectacular. To help get us all off on the right foot, I’m happy to post this luxurious Broccoli Soup with Cheddar Cheese as my Magazine Mondays post. I love broccoli soup with lots of melty cheddar … seriously … there’s not a lot that could make me happier on a Monday.
Have a beautiful week, everyone!
Ciao!

Joining me for this edition of Magazine Mondays is Natashya of Living in the Kitchen with Puppies who made soft pretzels and Wandering Coyote of ReTorte who made Sugar Cookies!
Remember, if you have a magazine recipe that you’ve finally tried, let me know and I’ll link to it!

Your enthusiasm for your happy weekend is contagious. I’m going to take that and have a great week with it

Glad you had a great weekend. I love soup too! This one looks like a winner!

What a great weekend you had! I heard that the Madonna concert is amazing and what could top a spending a beautiful autumn day at Niagara on the Lake with your Mom!
The soup looks delicious.

;0) Fall does seem to be the season for weekends and days like that. Wonderful that it all came together for you so grandly.
Love Broccoli Soup with Cheddar Cheese and this one has me thinking I’ll be looking on the lunch menu for Broccoli Soup with Cheddar Cheese when I’m out to lunch with my sis today!
Hope your week is grand.

That DOES sound like a fabulous weekend!

Give me a bowl of that soup, and I will be happy, too. It looks delicious.
10/21/08 at 7:14 am
That does sound like the perfect fall weekend!! I raked leaves and cleaned out the garage…..less sticky and sweet, more sticky and sweat. Broccoli cheese soup is truly one of my favorites - pure comfort on a cold day.
10/21/08 at 4:22 pm
I never pictured you as a Madonna girl but it is so nice to hear you had such a good weekend.
Soup looks wonderful, perfect for a cold day like today!
10/21/08 at 10:49 pm
What a bowl of comfort you have there. I’m glad you had a good weekend. I was too busy mourning the hockey loss. But at least my Flames won tonight. Sorry about the Leafs.
10/22/08 at 5:40 am
Beautiful, and what a great weekend you had! One for the books.
I love your cobalt bowls too - so lovely.
10/22/08 at 9:15 am
Lucky you! My weekend was DIY, the entire house upside down, not a proper place to sit and an upturned sofa stored in the kitchen (which is not big, btw). The soup looks gorgeous - perfect for a chilly autumn day!

Autumn is the perfect time for Soup recipes…and even pictures… thanks

That soup looks terrific. With all that cheese I might even be able to get my wife to eat broccoli.
