I had breakfast bacon, eggs with cheese and spinach.

On Sunday, I roasted a large Fairy Tale pumpkin that I bought last October at the farmers market. After scooping it out, draining it, then processing it, I divided it into containers and froze it for later use.

Fortunately, we had pizza left over from last night, so we had that for dinner. For dessert, we each had a slice of Joan's pound cake, that I thawed earlier from the freezer. It is still as wonderful as when she served it to us in her home. We have two more slices left in the freezer.

We had tomato soup, made with tomatoes from our garden last summer. With it, we had focaccia I made this morning, sprinkled with KAF's The Works on top. The temperature here is now 10*, so soup was perfect.

For dinner on Monday, I roasted three large bone-in chicken breasts. I made muddled mashed potatoes to go with them and pulled out leftover turkey gravy from Thanksgiving from the freezer. We microwaved frozen peas to go with the chicken and potatoes. My husband also had a bit of applesauce left from the batch I made last week.

Finished off the leftover pizza tonight.

The temperature is supposed to be 34 (feeling like 26) by the time I get up in the morning - it was high 60's today. The cold weather is supposed to be here pretty much through next week. And, Will comes home tomorrow, so yesterday I made stock from the rotisserie chicken I bought last week and a batch of steel cut oats for breakfasts. Today, I prepped meatballs and vegetables for Ina's Italian Wedding Soup that I'll put together tomorrow afternoon after we get home - I'm picking him up at the airport and then we're going to Trader Joe's which we always try to do when we're in Jacksonville.

I took a PTO day for tomorrow and I'm glad I did as I didn't realize how exhausted I was from the last two weeks until I stopped.
