This is it...
Thank you for taking the time to check out my blog. I feel like it is important for you to understand my motivation to be healthy while enjoying life. I have lived for so long concentrating on the glass being half empty rather than half full. This is my public commitment to change that way of thinking and just be happy.

Please feel free to comment and call me out when I get off track. Also, let me know what I am missing or what would be a great addition to make my blog better.

Butternut squash soup recipe!


Butternut Squash Soup (No measurements required)

Butternut squash cubed – two bags from Trader Joes

Two Fuji apples – If you’re lucky they are in your back yard!

Cut everything if not cut already, put on cookie sheet sprayed with pam and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 35-40 min.

When there is about 15-20 minutes left melt 1 table spoon of olive oil and 1 table spoon of butter in the pan. Cut up a quarter of an onion, two stocks of celery, and a couple of carrots. Add to the pan and cook until onions are translucent.

Add the apples, squash, enough chicken stock until everything is covered, a cinnamon stick and a splash of apple juice.

Cook together for about 15 minutes just to get everything working with one another.

Get out the blender and blend a little at a time (should be about 2 blenders full) for 2 or three minutes each. Add to your favorite bowl and enjoy!

Menu:

Breakfast – oatmeal with flax and vanilla soy milk

Lunch – turkey and salami wrap

Snack – puffkins

Dinner – butternut squash soup with apples, celery, carrots, kosher salt, pepper, apple juice and chicken stock.

Dessert – soy vanilla milk

Happy Thoughts: Warm soup on cold nights!

Special Stuff: Recipe included above J

Other Notables: This soup is great with or without apples.
