Art, design, food and creative smarts

Fall season is approaching and gourds and squash will be in season soon. Let me first say that gourds and squash are healthy and versatile. Even better, gourds and squash are fairly inexpensive and go a long way in a dish. I usually pay $4 for a large butternut squash. So in today’s day of cost-cutting and trying to find ways to eat healthy yet keeping your grocery bill down, squash just seems to make sense. I thought I would post two of my favorite squash soup recipes. So enjoy! I should be posting some more soon. Also be sure to check out some of my gourd photography from last year – that is, if you’re into gourds like I am. They’re all too cute with their unique little bumps and curls.
