Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Roasted butternut squash soup

.  .  .

In one of my previous blog posts, Fall Decorations, I shared how to decorate with squash and pumpkins.  They are beautiful for displaying and just as delicious to cook with. My two favorite ways to use squash and pumpkins are to roast or make cream soups.  Here is one easy recipe to do just that.

Roasted Butternut Squash soup is a rich hearty soup packed full of flavor and perfectly fitting to make at this time of year.  Serve as a starter for a holiday dinner gathering or double the recipe to satisfy a large get together with friends and family. The ingredients were roasted to bring out their natural nutty and sweet flavors.  It’s a basic and easy soup recipe to make and delicious to eat anytime.

Homemade Caramel Apples

Caramel apples

Add a little bit of whimsical and fun twist to homemade caramel apples this fall season. Instead of popsicle sticks or wooden skewers for the handles, I decided to use apple branches. To give height and attention to this yummy grouping of caramel apples, the branches were cut a little longer with some leaves still attached.  This is a wonderful idea to use as a centerpiece on a table or as a part of the decoration.

Plum Cake in a tart pan

Plum Cake (in a tart pan)

It is late into the summer and a whisper of chill is in the air. Harvest season is upon us as evident from our plum tree that is laden with tiny yellow plums.  For the next few weeks there will be more than enough plums for picking, canning, and baking.  The birds will soon be making regular visits there to enjoy the fruit.  Last year there had to have been hundreds of birds in the plum tree everyday during those weeks.  The sounds from the birds in the tree was incredible to hear.

Poolside Treats and Things

Poolside treats and things

It’s summertime and an afternoon of fun activities outside, swimming in the pool or playing in the sprinkler are great pastimes for the kids to do.  In between activities is a good time to bring out refreshments and sweet treats.  I decided to put together a little refreshment center for them to have and share with friends.  To make it festive and summertime, I decorated the empty picture frame to look like water.  I used tissue paper cut in strips with scallop edges layered together with double sided tape to look like waves. A decorative flag banner {diy herewas added to the top of the picture frame.

A local candy shop, The Confectionery was the source for gummies and chocolate treats.  Not everyone lives nearby, so I included internet sources at the end of the blog post.  Other than treats, bubbles are always fun, and the BEST bubbles that will last a long time before they pop are the ones sold by Gymboree.
