Butternut Squash Soup

Last night we made delicious homemade pizzas. Mine with feta and roasted veggies. Spencer’s with pepperoni and mozzarella. Surprised? Anyways, we also made butternut squash soup. It was incredible. Such a perfect fall soup. 

You will need:
  • 1 (2 to 3 pound) butternut squash, peeled and seeded
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 6 cups chicken stock (or as little as you like)
  • Cinnamon(or nutmeg)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Parmesan cheese 
 In large pot melt butter. Add onion and cook until translucent. Add 1″ chunks of squash and stock (the amount of stock totally depends on the consistency you like your soup. I used a lot less than 6 cups. Maybe only 3 and it was a little too thick, sort of like baby food. Oops). Bring to a simmer and cook until squash is tender. Blend all together. Stir and season with cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Top with Parmesan cheese (gives it the perfect saltiness).
This soup is so incredibly simple and so delicious!

Wedding Wednesday

Today I am sharing our engagement pictures by the amazingly talented Aaron Delesie. We aren’t using our pictures for the save the dates or for the guest book, we really just did it to get comfortable with Aaron before our wedding day. We definitely accomplished that goal, and in the mean time, we got some really special pictures!
You might remember that we had the most insanely ridiculous weather, and since Aaron was coming in from California we had no choice but to shoot that day. We decided to embrace the bad weather and make it part of the pictures and I am so glad we did. It made the day an adventure and I love the character that it gives to our pictures.
My city.

This one pretty much sums it up. We like each other, but damn that weather was hellish.
