Fall also means soups and more soups. Something I have become quite passionate about over the years has been cooking, I've found that soups rock my world.
Today I made this awesome butternut squash soup with balsamic caramelized onions and apples. Delicious! While I'm still not amazing at taking pictures of food-- I couldn't resist. I started this delicious soup with roasting the squash and onions, then I added coconut milk and broth. To finish it off, I pureed it into creamy goodness with my favorite kitchen toy-- the Breville Immersion Blender (thanks to dad).
I cook because I love to eat good food. However, cooking becomes so much more than that for me. It's a way to start a task and complete it, there are no rules, and I've become pretty good at it. I also want to show Kora just how important it is to eat good food, and to make your own food. When I don't cook I realize something is missing in my life. I can spend hours in the kitchen making a good meal and not get bored. Cleaning up my mess on the other hand is a different story! My hope is that cooking with Kora will be something that lasts through the years and builds on our relationship. I remember cooking with my Dad a lot. I have very fond memories of being in the kitchen with him and I hope this is something I can give to Kora as well.
