Delicata Squash Ravioli Soup

Delicata Squash Ravioli Soup
This delicata squash ravioli soup will make you love delicata squash! You can find my first love of delicata squash with this battle – baked vs. fried. Yep, it’s Official – I am a YouTuber!  Ha! I’ve been procrastinating for so long about doing videos because I wanted them to look good.  I’d watch tutorials on YouTube, would get inspired, and then not do anything. ...

Italian Sausage Soup

Italian Sausage Soup
While it's nearly April, sadly we are still in soup weather. This Italian sausage and cheese tortellini soup is light, yet filling - and only 5 WW points per 1.5 cup serving.

Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut Squash Soup
This butternut squash soup is great for your weekly meal prep! My Mom gave me three butternut squashes probably three weeks ago.  They rolled around the back of my car for almost that whole time, until I cleaned out my car and found them – thanks Mom!  Butternut squash is a hearty vegetable!

Curried Butternut Squash Potato Soup

Curried Butternut Squash Potato Soup
I am confident I never even tried butternut squash before I started blogging.  Back in the day, there was something called “BSI” which stood for Blogger Secret Ingredient.  The “host” was new each week, but they would pick an ingredient, and you had to make a dish, and that person who hosted picked a winner of all the recipes submitted, then would pick another host. ...

Cubs Game?

Cubs Game?
Our weather has been gorgeous.  Well deserved after our seemingly never ending winter.  I didn’t even need a jacket on my walk to work yesterday from the train.  It’s funny because some people are still wearing UGG boots, while others are wearing sundresses. I already knew yesterday was going to be busy because I left so much stuff on my desk on Friday afternoon –...
