Apple Butternut Squash Soup
Over the past few weeks I have been busy making soups and stews using CSA ingredients, and today I have the final soup recipe (for now!)! Last year I posted my recipe for a more traditional version of butternut squash soup, and while I don’t like to post two of the same recipe, I came across a different one that I just had to make. The original recipe, Butternut Squash & Apple Cider Bisque, was recommended by GourmetGirlMagazine.com. When I saw the recipe I knew I needed to make some tweaks to mak… read more »
Roasted Kale

Nutritioulicious Cocktail Parties
This past weekend Andy and I hosted a small cocktail party for our friends. Since we both love to cook and love wine, there is nothing better than entertaining friends in our home! As a dietitian, I like to make sure my guests can fill their plates with a balance of protein, carbs, fruit, vegetables, and some healthy fat. In order to achieve this balance, we served a variety of hors d’oeuvres. I also wanted to make use of some of the produce from our Bare Foot Organics CSA, so we tried to incorporate ou… read more »
