Good morning! How was your week? Mine has been busy and crazy. The bathroom renovation is almost finished and it has been a circus the last two days with plumbers and tilers coming in and out all day long and my two protectors barking up a storm all day long. Needles to say I am looking forward to a quite weekend.

Chicken Salad |
Doesn’t this Mandarin Chinese Chicken Salad from Buy this Cook That look beautiful and delicious? I think it would be great for dinner and then lunch the next day as well.
French Onion Soup Stuffed Potatoes! I have never heard of them before but they would make a comforting meal on a cool Fall day!
I love cheese and this Beer Cheese Soup from Fox Valley Foodie is at the top of my list of soups to make once the weather cools a bit.
In addition to pumpkin, Fall is all about apples and these Caramel Apple Crumble Bars are the perfect way to use some of the apples your get when you make your pilgrimage to the apple orchard.
This No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake with Truffles is fabulous! It is so easy and it is one of the best desserts I have ever had.

Friday Food!
The chocolate cheesecake looks to die for.
I have never heard of these soups but they look delicious! I have always liked Reese Witherspoon as an actress. She is not the type to want attention all the time like many other actors and seems to be very involved with her family. I know you will enjoy a quiet weekend and hopefully the bathroom will be finished soon.
