Time to Decorate

It's time!

To bring

out the

Christmas

decorations!

 (Image via: Thrilled)

 First 

thing...

Find a tree!

I know I know...

... I have

been gone

for some

time.

But

I do

have a

good

reason...

I was

super

busy.

So here

is something

that I am

excited

for!

Tree Skirt

The season

is almost

here.

It's about

time to

bring out

the

Christmas

decorations.

But...

I am in

dire need

of a

tree skirt!

I wonder

how hard

it would be

to make

this?

I found

it on...

Garnet Hill

Butternut Squash & Coconut Curry Soup

The weather

has been

so cold

recently...

and I

love it!

Perfect

weather

for soup.

Butternut Squash & Coconut Curry Soup

Adapted from Epicurious

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onions
2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces (about 4 1/2 cups)
1 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons minced seeded jalapeño chili
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste
12 ounces dried Asian noodles 

 

1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. 

2. Add squash; sauté 4 minutes. Add broth, jalapeño and garlic; bring to boil. Cover; cook until squash is almost tender, about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in coconut milk and curry paste. Simmer uncovered until squash is tender and liquid is slightly reduced, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt. 

4. Meanwhile, cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain noodles. 

5. Place some of the noodles in a bowl and pour the soup over the top...and enjoy!
