Next week we're heading to FL for a bit so I'm trying to utilize some of the food from our fridge & pantry in hopes to cut down on waste. In addition to these items, I'll be finally baking that pear/pumpkin bread I promised a few weeks ago, and also whip up some whole wheat chocolate chip banana peanut butter muffins (mouthful!) for our guests that are arriving late Saturday night. I may or may not make some peppermint bark this year (time is flying by!). Are you clearing out your pantry - or other closets - to prep for 2013?

As you can see, this is a very soupy week! I have the week off and am taking advantage of it -- to tackle three new pumpkin recipes and then of course all of these soup recipes. I said mid-September that I would conquer both soups and pumpkins this season, so this is me following through on this promise! I have never been a huge pumpkin/soup fan, but honestly -- I have never really given either a try. Never being a big fan of autumn, I am now trying to warm myself up to it (especially now that we live in a state that actually experiences seasons!). Most of the unlinked recipes are from my October issue of Vegetarian Times Magazine, and if they turn out okay I will share them. Are you tackling any new recipes this Fall?
