It's that time of the year again! Soup making has begun. I really enjoy making soups because they are so easy to make/eat, they are satisfying and go with really anything. You can have it as a snack, main meal or side dish.

OK. Go buy butternut squash and bake it. It is so good!!! Squash is also rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium, and vitamins B6! My cousin from a far away land emailed me a salad recipe. One of the ingredients in the salad is baked butternut squash. I had intentions of making this salad and blogging about it, but could not get past step one in the directions! I could not stop myself from eating the warm, baked, butternut squash. It was SO GOOD! I put NOTHING on it. Just baked it at 375 degrees for about 30 min- to an hour (or until a fork will easily go through it). Do not rush the baking process.
I tried the butternut squash plain, and then I dipped it in my favorite ketchup. YUM! Below is a comparison of sweet potato and butternut squash. They are both delicious and healthy but have their differences!
