Mike and I finished our third week of running. All is still going well except for raging shin splints. I've been icing when we get home and on days when I feel like I might cry from the pain I take a few Ibuprofen. Is there anything else I should be doing?
I've been cooking up a storm lately too. Since it has been getting colder I've gone back to making a huge vat of soup each week. First I made a Roasted Butternut Squash soup that was so fantastic! Of course we gobbled it down in two days. I tried to make it again and it tasted like ass. That's what I get for not taking recipes seriously! The first time, the time it was phenomenal, I took photos while I made it.
On a baking sheet I cut up a huge carrot, a Butternut squash, an onion and an apple. I drizzled them all with olive oil, salt and pepper and a tiny bit of nutmeg and baked at 425 for around 45 minutes. Really I am not even sure about the time I just kept checking with a fork to see if it was mushie. Because mushie means done for this stuff.
When I got to that stage, I threw everything into a blender and added chicken stock. I then moved everything back into a big stock pot and noticed it still needed more stock so I added more with a few pats of butter. It was smooth and velvety and my kids couldn't get enough!
You really should try this stuff if you can handle squash at all. It warms your insides and screams fall!
How's that for a change of topic?

Sounds delicious! Love your blog!
Thanks Trish! I'm trying to be better about updating more often...
Do you have a good receipe for some chicken soup or vegetable beef soup or some like those? You should put together some more posts with these soup receipes! I can always use some for soups and stews that I can make a big batch of and freeze some of it.
Rachel, I do! I'll do one next week!
I love your simple and wonderful recipe! I am sooo not a cook and this looks like something even I can do! Plus I love butternut squash... and soup... and Autumn. Thanks for the recipe, and I love your bama-bling too!
