All three came out delicious. Recipes:
Ham and Cheese
-this recipe is not really a recipe. 3 steps: butter some yummy bread, place ham and cheese between bread slices with the butter side on the outside, cook on griddle until crispy and melty.
Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup
3 cups chopped butternut squash
2 cups thinly sliced carrots
1 cup thinly sliced white onion
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp white pepper
2 14 oz cans of chicken broth
1 tbsp butter
In a large sauce pot, cook squash, carrots, onion, and butter over medium high heat until onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add chicken broth. Bring to boil. Lower heat, cover, cook on a simmer for 20-25 minutes. Using a blender or food processor, puree mixture in batches. Return to the sauce pot and add nutmeg and pepper. Eat with a dollop of sour cream or greek yogurt.
Butterscotch Gingerbread Cookies (original recipe from the Nestle Toll House website. I adjusted it a little)
1 1/2 cups white flour
1 1/5 cups wheat flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
3/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar packed
1 cup butter (I used I Can't Believe It's Not Butter)
1/3 cup strong molasses
1 large egg
1 package butterscotch flavored morsels
1 package chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt in a small bowl. Beat sugar, butter, molasses, and egg until creamy. Slowly combine in flour mixture until well blended. Stir in morsels and walnuts. Drop rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes.
Eat sandwiches with soup. Watch some reality TV, I chose Million Dollar Listing on Brav0. Devour cookies with tall glass of cold milk.
