The early turkey catches the worm, right? Well, we bought an extra turkey last year (because we have a spare freezer, and the price per pound and deliciousness per bite were both excellent deals). Actually, we bought two extra turkeys, because that’s normal. One was cooked up months ago, and we decided that now is…

Butternut Squash Soup
Just in time, a fantastic recipe for butternut squash soup! This is a great cool weather classic, and we’ve been making it once or twice a year from different recipes. This time, I think I’ve found the winner. The other recipes used lots of heavy cream, which is of course delicious. This recipe opts for…
