Glory Days~

Every season..albeit late late winter..
I tell you how much I love where I live.
I do.
My street is ver special.
Family..neighbours..♥


My mom's fave season was fall..the artist in her..Nat King Cole ..Perry Como..Nana Mouskouri..Bing Crosby..etc..
How I remember I have no clue..
I have forgotten so much.
Anyway..

Days of Glory..




The above dish is just so good you need to try it..prep is minutes..bake it longer..I had to..and I loved it even more served on pasta:)

You can find the recipe here..Make it and keep it forever~
I made it 3 times lol:)

The first dish ..is an amazing app for a group..From Seasons And Suppers..I made the bread in the bread machine and it was FABULOUS.
The Recipe is  here..

Happy Thanksgiving Canada:)♥You are so pretty dressed in October~

Caroline took a few pics of us at football and from the back..I don't mind posting;)

  5. Happy, Happy Glorious Thanksgiving Day, dear Monique! You live in a gorgeous setting. I'd love to look out to those brilliant trees coverd in their autumn beauty. All green or brown here with the occasionally golden touch some years. Too hot this year!
    I baked gingerbread acorns last week. Like you, I find these Wilton pans glorious! I may add the leaf pan this year!
    Every image is glorious, but the one of you and J is my favorite. I saw it on Caroline's IG account. She titled it "Couple Goals"! You are an awesome role model to your girls and to all of us who are inspired by the way you live life and share it's beauty.
    Grateful that our lives are entwined in friendship across the miles.

    1. I am so grateful too!
      We never know at any given time what is going on in someone’s life and kindness across the miles has a way of assuaging uncertain times💕I know I start harping about our harsh winters in. Arch but the rest of the time it’s our little paradise.As I know your home is also!Caroline has always taken pics of me without my knowing that I love☺️☺️Thank you for your friendship through the years Sarah!

  8. Coming here is like coming home to a place I've never been. I love seeing you in your beautiful russet coat -- you look as autumnal as all the wonderful dishes on your table (I linked to the recipes!). Your leaves are so much brighter than here. I suspect we'll get our big turn this week -- it has been cold enough. I'm not ready for the winter but the autumn is beautiful indeed!

    1. It has been the best of all falls in my recent memory for certain!
      It's a poncho :)
      Simon Chang..1970's.
      Early 1970.
      Some things you keep forever:)

  9. Happy Thanksgiving Monique,
    That dish looks unbelievably delish
    Paris has a lot of glorious things but Fall leaves is not one of them 🍂

  10. It looks so pretty there! Our leaves starting turning color quite a bit while we were gone the past few days but nothing compared to the brilliance in your photos. I wish I could say it's been a lovely autumn so far here but we've had so many rainy days. I love all of your glorious photos (especially you and Jacques) and glorious recipes :) You have a knack of finding beauty in everything, Pea ♥

    1. It has been the best fall in yrs..well in my recent memory..today cloudy..with puffs of smoke from chimneys:)
      We have had less than stellar falls..the sun makes everything shine.
      I am in awe at so many things.
      That's been a glory for me too.
      ♥Grateful!

  12. Dear Monique this is a truly glorious post, starting with the amazing photos, this delicious chicken recipe, your boys and you. Even from back I guessed that you are very, very beautiful. When a picture with your face? Kisses and hugs

  14. Your glorious things warm my heart Monique, many of them are my own. Family, home, good food. Always beautifully presented. You are an artist with not only your paint brush but with your camera! I still think you need to do a coffee table book of your best montages. I would buy it! Your photos are all stunning and you make me want to cook everything! I think you are a beautiful woman and if I looked like you and had your figure I would not be camera shy in the least, but then again, perhaps that is a part of your charm. Your humble heart. I checked every day last week to see if you had posted and then missed a couple days and voila! There you were! I am happy you are enjoying a beautiful Autumn. I hope that you had a lovely Thanksgiving filled with lots of the most important things in life, again . . . family, love, good food and home. Love and hugs, always. xoxo

    1. I hope you are feeling better ..of course I am on my way to check on you:)
      I am camera shy and am thrilled I am not in a selfie world.I do remember having fun w/ 2 girlfreinds when we got together and some pics turning out OK..but they were film cameras.and it was 20 yrs ago.
      Just not photogenic at all..
      some people shine in pics..
      I am not oe of those lol:)

      10 yrs ago..something in my life went wrong..and it changed my whole expression..God bless one of my daughters who is so honest..like her husband :) She even told me that.
      I knew it.
      But that made me know what I knew ..was in fact reality.
      C'est la vie..the unfortunate parts..are given to most..
      Thank you for the nice words Marie:)You are very very nice.
