Drizzle everything with 2 TBS olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast for 30 minutes until mushrooms are brown. Put the mushrooms in a Dutch oven along with 3-4 cloves of the roasted garlic squeezed out of the outer peel, 4 cups of stock or bone broth (any flavor), 1 cup of cottage cheese, and a couple of sprigs of thyme. Heat and puree the soup with an emulsion blender until smooth. Serve with a swirl of cream, and make extra roasted mushrooms to chop on top of the soup.

1.) When it comes to holiday decor planning, starting early helps keep the stress at bay, and while it’s not quite time to decorate, you can kick off the process with my simple, four-step plan. These quick and easy steps make holiday decorating more manageable, year after year.

2.) I’ve given The OSP Christmas Market a complete refresh, and I’m adding new finds almost daily. With eight sections, everything is neatly organized and easy to browse. Items are already starting to sell out, so be sure to take a peek!

3.) FAVORITE QUOTE: “There is a past version of you that is so proud of how far you have come.” ~Found HERE.

4.) CHRISTMAS INSPIRATION: if green is your go-to color for Christmas this year, take a look at this living room that does it beautifully, and then tour this neutral home with green accents that incorporates tiny touches of blue.

5.) COMFY CLOTHES FOR LOUNGING OR RECOVERING FROM SURGERY:

this soft and cozy high-low sweatshirt
this set of matching pajamas
this long sleeve 2-piece pajama set
these soft scuba knit pants
and a top to go with them
these pretty blue comfort fleece pants
and the matching top!

6.) If you are considering a kitchen renovation, and want two-toned cabinets, take a look at this post from Jenna Kate. She breaks down the decision-making process, and gives tons of great suggestions.

7.) SPRUCE UP YOUR BATHROOM FOR THE HOLIDAYS! (All very small things that make a big difference!)

Get some new rugs…these are my favorite.
Add a scented candle.
Splurge on festive hand soap and lotion.
Freshen your hand towels.
Replace your shower curtain.

8.) WHAT’S COOKING: this week I’m making what just might be our favorite soup, I made a batch of banana bread, and coming up this weekend I’ll be making this small batch chicken cobbler.

9.) Are you thinking about updating your paint colors? If yes, you might be interested in this English countryside color palette. These incredible hues, straight out of a fairy tale with rolling hills and quaint cottages, have captured the hearts of designers and homeowners everywhere.

10.) I hope your November is off to a great start! XO
