and it only took a couple of days

after i made my fall to-do list earlier this week, i decided friday would be the day to try out the turkey sausage stew. T and i were going to have one of his close friends over to hang and the two are pretty great guinea pigs for any new recipes i try out. so my plan was set to start working on the stew after i finished at work with a little help from T on the prep work. then i got a phone call from him on a big step in the recipe i completely missed....the navy beans are to soak overnight prior to making the stew, eek! i thought i had read over the recipe but i guess i forgot that part! geez. so the stew was put on hold until sunday and boy, was it worth it! with a dash of this and a splash of that, our house was filled the most wonderful scents of yummy stew in the making. and after all that work, here was the final product....

it was so delicious that all we had left were empty pumpkin bowls and filled stomachs!

and to add to my excitement, i can now cross off one of my fall to-do's!

hope you had a great weekend!
