Easy Butternut Squash and Pear Soup

This soup is great for a cold fall day. I don't often cook using recipes so all amounts are my best guess but feel free to experiment - this recipe is great no matter what I seem to do with it. One helpful hint with the squash: It is really hard to peel so I do not peel it but instead roast it and then scoop the insides out into the soup. It's much easier that way! Serve topped with blue cheese crumbles and crusty bread on the side.

Cheeseburger Focaccia

When I told my oldest son we were having cheeseburger focaccia for dinner, he thought I was pranking him. His two favorite foods combined into one? I'd made all his 8-year-old dreams come true. His only request: hold the pickles. No problem—more for me! When cooking the ground beef for this, Don't be afraid to really dimple the surface of the focaccia before adding all the toppings. This gives the cheese and beef space to fill every nook and cranny, ensuring each bite of focaccia is packed with cheeseburger flavor.
