Curried butternut squash soup

I love butternut squash soup. I have tried various recipes and my fav is the simplest... Sauté onion, garlic... Add peeled , cubed squash, veggie broth (I put in 1/2 apple) cook until tender... Add curry powder to taste...purée. I may add a little honey/or not.... Always taste...love soup in the fall...

pad thai (vegan style)

last night i made a vegan version of pad thai. the recipe comes from Libby Pratt, owner of a luxury vegan, bootcamp in southwestern France, Camp Biche. check out the website...gorgeous place.

the dinner was incredibly delicious...with a different twist.

i made a garlic-tomato sauce that i dressed the noodles with...then a "slaw" of shredded cabbage, cucumbers, onion, radishes and carrots. lots of veggies makes you feel like you are eating more pasta than you really are. then drizzle w/ a mustard/horseradish sauce. the sauce was to die for. i am sure i will find many ways to use it! top w/ chopped peanuts. (i left out the cilantro by accident)

it would be good but i really did not miss it because there were so many great flavors going on.

try it...you'll love it

if you need more detailed recipe leave a comment.
