Friday Favorites – Sort of Serious Edition

It has been a long and exhausting week, friends. At the moment, I feel like Atlas holding up the celestial spheres. Things to do, things to think about, places to be, worries weighing on my mind… In the midst of the chaos, though, I have a few favorite moments to share. Perhaps these are a bit…

Soup of the Week – New and Improved Butternut Squash Edition

Butternut squash soup has made an appearance on this blog more than once. It’s a family favorite. Can’t help it. This week’s Soup of the Week is a slight variation and/or improvement on our standard butternut squash soup, though. This one is a creamy butternut squash soup. And it has some of my homemade garbage soup in…
