Yesterday was the perfect day to shift into soup season. Although I eat soup all year, it hits different when it gets colder!

I had some extra onions on hand, a baguette (really, who just has a baguette on hand? This girl.) and of course we are always stocked on cheese. There was no other option, French Onion soup was the only soup du jour option! I'm not sure if I really make it right, I kinda just wing it. I carmelized a couple of sweet onions in butter and herbs de province. Then added just enough beef stock (it's what I had on hand, I forgot to mention that earlier), I like my soup to be a little more brothy. Toasted a few pieces of the baguette with a gruyere/swiss combo on top. Put those in the bottom of a soup crock, filled the rest up with the soup, put plenty of the gruyere/swiss combo on top, and put it under the broiler on hight for a few minutes. Yum!

A few notes: Herbs are up to your personal preference. Vegetable stock is also acceptable, I just didn't have any. I usually toast my bread with parmesan and top the soup with provolone, but I was feeling fancy. Make sure your soup crock is broiler safe!

It's no secret that Luke Combs has had success with all of his singles that he's sent to country radio, most recently his Tracy Choman cover "Fast Car" and "Love You Anyway". His next single at country radio is "Where The Wild Things Are" from his album Gettin' Old. It's a song about an older brother and their adventures together throughout the years. In the last verse,it's revealed that the older brother passed away, and that they buried him “out where the wild things are".

Hailey Whitters recently released a six song EP I'm In Love and today she released her next radio single, the title track! You'll hear Hailey's 90’s country influences as she sings about a summertime love and you can hear her midwestern charm come through!

About the song, Hailey explains, “I knew the minute I heard this song I had to record it. I didn’t write it (Nicolle Galyon, Lee Miller, & Cameron Bedell did), but I wish I had. I love – pun intended – the quirky language and spirit. Every time I sing it I’m smiling like a big ol sap because it just makes me so happy and puts me in a good mood.”

Bailey Zimmerman has the #1 song in country music this week and he just announced that "Where It Ends" will be his new single at country radio! Bailey says the story behind it "is really just kind of an inspiration to anybody out there who is going through something tough with somebody who they are scared to lose, don't be scared to lose that person because maybe they weren't meant for you. Sometimes it's really best to say, this is where it ends."

Fall officially begins tomorrow morning at 2:50am, then we get the prettist scenery! Right now, you are starting to see leaves change, not to much, but just wait for the next few weeks! I found this website, explorefall.com that updates their maps daily. So if you are sticking around NE Ohio or wanting to take a road trip, you'll know where to find all the fall colors!

Kane Brown released his next single to radio today, as he also just announced his upcoming tour!

Kane says, "'I Can Feel It' came after we were trying to find someone to perform with me at Stage Coach. Phil Collins was one of the people we wanted, and after we were in Canada, we wrote this song, and I immediately fell in love with it with the drum feel. It's so familiar to a lot of people. I'm really excited to play it live. I immediately saw the image of it after we wrote it and I can't wait for everybody to hear it and get to jam along to it."

Up until now, I have only seen the teaser video online, but a friend shared the whole video for the Monday Night Football performance and it gives me chills. The new Monday Night Football anthem played in it's entirety before the Cleveland Browns took on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sadly, the game was a loss for us, but this performance from Chris Stapleton, Snoop Dogg and Cindy Blackman Santana was a win!
