Garlic Ginger Green Beans

Garlic Ginger Green Beans by John Spottiswood

Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut Squash Soup by Judy Fisher

This savory soup is delicious and filling on a cool day. The curry and garlic give it a wonderful flavor. This is a family favorite that I learned at a cooking class given by Rachel Perelman who is the chef at my daughter's school. Serve with salad and a crusty bread.
