Gold Nugget Squash Soup

Gold Nugget Squash

During the winter season I use a lot of squash. I had this squash(Gold Nugget is a winter squash) in my kitchen for the last 4 months sitting on the top of the refrigerator and having no time to get to it (It looked kind of pretty too:). I thought it might be bad by now, but once we open it up it was perfectly fine to use it! Tonight we baked it and made the soup out of it. I tried putting some cinnamon, ground cloves, raw apple puree, brown sugar and yogurt in the soup, but at the end the best taste was when I added nothing to it. I used Vita Mix to make the puree.
Topped it with goat yogurt.

The Seeds-let me know if anybody needs any.

This squash beat all the other squashes I ever ate! Even my favorite acorn squash...It was so delicious!! Highly recommend to try it!

What do you think about this?

This is that Devin did yesterday: we were getting ready to go out and while I was talking to grandmother she took my car keys, unlocked the car, turn on the engine, sit in her carseat and put her seatbelts on.

Church

Mariners Church

We took Thomas to the church for the first time. He did great, but on the other hand his big sisiter got bored and just wanted to run around.

I know my mom would love to see this picture with all of us in the church.

Thanksgiving Weekend

We did not stay home like we thought we were going to do. We went to see the family and it was fun. Devin had a blast! Got to take the first family photo.
