Don't Knock it 'til you try it.

Not that you will be able to try this, because it is all gone.   Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup.  Last fall was my first time to try a squash soup of any kind.  And I was skeptical.  It just looks gross.  But, it is good! This one tastes like a curry sauce, so if its too much to eat as a soup, pour it over some rice, or as we did, some quinoa.  I got the recipe here http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/10/coconut-curry-butternut-squash-soup.html but I changed some of it, because the spices she recommends can be expensive.  Instead I used Indian curry paste, sauteed it with the onions, I did use the curry powder and cumin she recommended.  

We had a baby shower at my house for Baby G. coming soon.  It was fall themed.  I made some cookies using the mom-to-be's family sugar cookie recipe.  I'm no artist, but they tasted good, and were fun to make.  

We went to the farmer's market on Saturday.  Michael always buys a bouquet of my choice when we go.   We also bought an Arkansas shaped hand made cutting board.  If you frequent the farmer's market, you know what I am talking about.  

This picture is terrible, this was pretty in real life.  Its baked brie, I didn't photograph it when it was really looking appetizing with rich, delicious, melted cheese pouring out of the buttery crust.  Yum! I got the recipe here : http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/crescent-wrapped-brie/3bc85655-bba2-44ec-88dd-9f2397a8d42b/  I served it with apple slices. 

This weekend: co-hosting another baby shower.  Quite the regular thing around here, I'm helping with 4 showers in 5 weeks.  Whew. 

A first birthday party for (no longer a..) baby B.

A Halloween costume party!  Pics to come.
