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.

Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms
I made this recipe for cheesy spinach-stuffed mushrooms for a bridal shower. They're easy to make and have a great flavor thanks to three types of cheese, garlic, and spinach. Everyone enjoyed them!

A quick and easy rosemary rub that truly draws out the succulent flavor of lamb. Works on chops or leg of lamb.
Vegetarian Bean Curry
This vegetarian bean curry recipe is basic but easily adjustable by playing around with the seasonings and ingredients. My first batch was good, but since then, I've experimented with different spice levels, — more or less — other veggies like mushrooms, and adding meat. Now, it's different every time I make it. Serve it over basmati rice with naan bread.
