One more squash recipe ...

These recent posts have inspired me! Just in case you guys didn't see this in the NY Times a few days ago, check out the Roasted Winter Squash and Apple Soup with Cilantro Pesto recipe. It's almost the exact recipe I use for butternut squash soup except the squash is roasted first, but the cilantro pesto looks like a dynamite addition. At the bottom of the article are links so some more squash recipes by Martha Rose Shulman; she's terrific -- I have a few of her cookbooks, including one with the challah recipe (and holiday variation) we love.

Cauliflower Soup

I just made the Roasted Cauliflower Soup from Fatfree Vegan, and it was awesome. I used a hand held blender and so I got a few small chunks, but the soup was thick, creamy, and delicious. We didn't have any truffle oil, but we drizzled on a little of the Chilean peppery olive oil that I got B for Hannukah and some paprika. It was really great, and I think the truffle oil would have taken it that extra mile ... I will be making this again.



Also made Mac Daddy. Despite my love affair with nutritional yeast, I was a little underwhelmed. It was good, but not great. B really liked it - which was good, because we made the full recipe which serves 10 and have frozen it so he can eat it whenever.
