Lentil Butternut Squash Soup with Chard

this beautiful chard was the inspiration for this soup. i was at the barns on saturday for the weekly farmer's market and saw this rainbow chard. i found this recipe online which looked easy enough.

butternut squash and carrots

 leeks

 sauteed leeks, garlic, squash and carrots

 all cooked up. the chard went in at the end. i also did not use the dried herbs but at the end added fresh coriander (can't get enough of this herb!) and fresh basil.

when bella got home we decided to make pumpkin squares. i made them back here

i now put in 1/2 cup of oil and 1/2 cup of sugar instead of the 3/4

bella basically made them herself. i measured and she poured and mixed.

 and then kai, hanging about...
