Growing up we had a lot of soup for dinner. Great Grandma Lee’s split pea soup, my mom’s amazing bean soup, I could really go on and on!
One Christmas my dad got my mom four cook books on just soup. Needless to say my mom was less than pleased that year for Christmas, but I think its safe to say, the Joneses are big soup people! Thankfully Walker is too!
Now that the weather is starting to cool its the perfect time for soups. Today I am sharing a spicy thai curry butternut squash soup that will leave you drooling! It’s really THAT good!
Walks and I love spicy and Thai and butternut squash just feels so “fall”- I knew this dish would be a winner! This is a perfect fall recipe. Pour yourself some wine, enjoy the fire and warm up with this butternut squash soup.

It’s officially what I like to call “snacking season”. Football season started a few weeks ago which means hours in front of the TV while Walker, I mean we, watch football, tailgating and watching the games at bars. In just a few short weeks the holiday season will kick off with Halloween, followed by Thanksgiving, then Christmas then New Years, which means holiday party after holiday party. What do all these events have in common? Munching on appetizers which are probably accompanied with a few adult beverages as well. Calories can really add up when you are mindlessly eating while watching TV or while nibbling at a social gathering. So today I am sharing a healthy appetizer recipe that’s perfect for snacking season.
