So they all puree Part II

Did I mention in that previous post how totally lucky I am to have parents that not only keep my children from falling out of trees better than I do, but also do all the leg work so that I can create squash-based masterpieces?

Lest my parents think me ungrateful, I took that squash and bam! turned it into soup. With the weather outside finally turning frightful, this butternut squash soup is certainly worth a try. I mean, how bad can anything be if it’s topped in cheddar cheese and buttery apples? And do not fret if you’ve no butternuts. I still haven’t a clue what squash I inhereted, and it all worked out just fine.

Also, thanks to Amy at Five Flower Mom for mentioning that the pureed squash would make a fine impersonator in pumpkin muffins. Pumpkin muffins are a favorite around here (not in the least because ours come loaded down with dark chocolate chips) and the kiddies are always happy to roll up their sleeves and help mix it up.

With snow predicted for tomorrow, an empty calendar at long last, and my high school reunion behind me, I’m settling in for a nice long weekend of baking, and eating.

I wish you the same.

  4. I’m still waiting for you post about the drunken revels of the high school reunion. Who did you have a total crush on that has turned out to be a 300 lb washout, who turned out really hot, how many kids (with how many fathers) did the prom queen end up having and all the other good details!

  5. I may have to get a pumpkin to make us some muffins, thanks for linking to me!

  6. Ok – I compared recipes and mine has no cream. If you want it I will send it to you. Glad that you had fun at the reunion and that you got home. 🙂
