Food Recipes

I was encouraged by my dear friend Elina to write about some recipes I've been trying out from 100 Days of Real Food. I've recently tried Butternut Squash Soup. The soup has turned out great but I have left out the leeks. I felt it was a little bland so I added salt and pepper to taste. It's worked well to blend the cooked squash prior to adding all the chicken stock. It's all come out with a much better flavor using homemade chicken stock. There is also a recipe for homemade chicken stock on the website. I have also tried the fruit muffins, they were a little dry and hard to get down. I have only made them once. The muffins I do keep making over and over again are the pumpkin spelt muffins. They are so moist and delicious, they also freeze great! I use the whole wheat biscuit pretty regularly and they are a favorite with Dan and Carson. Again, they freeze well.
