Culinary Queen

When I was on my way home from work yesterday morning, I felt so good. I was organized at work and and the air was nice and crisp. So I stopped at the Farmer's Market on the Green and felt inspired. I saw some beautiful, fresh butternut squash and then instantly thought SOUP! I love making real Butternut Squash Apple Soup. So I picked up the squash, some apples, and celery. So I spent most of my Saturday making it. It was really good!
Then today, my dad was going to make Meatloaf for dinner, and since his way of making meatloaf is mixing ground turkey and salsa together... I put a kibosh on that. I made the meatloaf with carrots, celery, onion and garlic, plus other stuff, but that's what makes it good, I think. And then Dad asked what we were going to have for dinner. So I said we have red potatoes and I still had some Havarti Dill Cheese and light cream left over from other creations so I put those together for Mashed Potatoes. Oooo... Those ended up being real good. Just needs a little bit more cheese next time, but otherwise very good. Not sure what's gotten into me, but I love it. I think the fact that it's not so hot out, the kitchen doesn't get uncomfortably hot. But anyway, we'll see what I cook up tomorrow!
