So, yesterday I was checking out Facebook, like I always do, and my girl La had posted a link to a bunch of really yummy sounding recipes made with Butternut Squash. Now, La and I are kindred spirits, I mean, we both have a serious addiction to eating squash! LOL! I seriously eat squash about 4 times a week...all different kinds, I love them all. When I saw these recipes I just knew that I was going to have to make the one for Roasted Butternut Squash and Shallot Soup! Of course, as luck would have it, the Butternut Squash I had on my counter was not going to be big enough, so off to the store I went to get myself another squash and some shallots (something I don't normally have in my possession either), so that I could make this soup for dinner. It was super easy to make and can I just tell you, when I was roasting the squash and shallots, the house smelled divine! Best news of all...only 112 calories a serving or for those of you following Weight Watchers, 2 points!! SCORE!! :)
I have to admit, I haven't done much cooking lately, just haven't felt the mojo to do it, and being a vegetarian (and my girl is not), makes it a bit more difficult to cook these days...not that I can't make stuff for myself, but the idea of fixing two dinners or lunches or what have you can seem a bit stressing at times...and, nope, the girl would not even taste my soup...sucks to be her I guess! LOL!! But, after making this soup yesterday, and doing a bit of baking lately, I am feeling a bit more inspired to play in the kitchen. I suppose with the coming of winter and cold temps, being outside isn't an option so staying in, baking, cooking or playing in my sCRAP room is what I will spend time doing. Not bad...not bad at all!
So, what will be my culinary adventure tonight you ask? NOTHING!! all the dang roads leading to the grocery store in town are under construction and for some reason, today, the traffic build up is insane!! and to top it off, the local grocery store decided, in all it's infinite wisdom, to re-surface their parking lot...I drove in, not a space to be found, drove out and said..looks like take out tonight!! Oh well....
Until next time,
Blessings!

Cricket, I haven't checked out your blog in a while. I, too, love that little general store. Great job with the photo!! Would you mind sharing the butternut squash soup recipe? I am the only person on earth not on Facebook but love butternut squash soup. (Panera offered it a few years ago. I sooooo wish they would bring it back!!)
Happy New Year!!
