Butternut squash carrot soup recipe

The leaves turn yellow, or if you are lucky they turn red. The temperatures start to drop and there is a bite in the air in the morning. If you are lucky you have a harvest of winter squash and carrots to use up. This is the time my family turns to the warm colours and flavours of fall.

This salad travels well and it only takes a few minutes to make if you have the quinoa precooked, so it makes a great salad to take to work for lunch.

Creamy Green Soup

I love the wonderful bright green colour of this soup. It just looks so healthy. It has been a favourite of my family for years. It takes a little while to make, but is worth the effort. This soup is full of vegetables so it really is as healthy as it looks. It makes a great lunch or light dinner.
