My dad always used to make the best soup on cold, rainy days when we were little. This is the first recipe he taught me, by my request, that I can cook for myself when I take a year off to travel next year.

This type of squash has a fragrant aroma but is not as dense as our local pumpkins. Enjoy this butternut squash soup with crispy buttered bread or, for a healthier option, with whole wheat bread. It's an easy and light breakfast.

My very favorite fall time meal!

Well, autumn is among us and we are being bombarded with gourds. The good thing about them is that they keep for a long time and you don’t have to know what you’re going to do with them immediately. So, after I let this marinate on top of the fridge for a week, I came up with this.
