This was Sunday dinner. Outside Round roast beef was on sale at IGA, as well as squash so I decided to make a stew. I chose to use Kabocha squash with it.
Cooking is my hobby and I love it. It relieves my stress. I use recipes as a base line...I find a few and compare. Then I make my own personal concoction from what I've learned. This blog has become my personal cooking journal. It helps me remember what I've made/liked and didn't. But mostly, this is for my son. I hope he makes some of these dishes one day...One of the nicest things he's said to me is that he's never had a bad meal with me, at home or at a restaurant (research wins!).

Butternut Squash Casserole with Leeks, Prosciutto and Thyme
I saw this recipe and wanted to try it. I thought about making it for Thanksgiving this year but I like my stuffing in the bird so decided to make it as the side dish this evening.
Spiced Krispies Treats
I got this recipe from a cookbook by Graham Elliot called, "Cooking Like a Master Chef: 100 Recipes to Make the Everyday Extraordinary". Since Fall/autumn just rolled in, this recipe seemed timely.

Coconut Curried Cauliflower Soup
Cauliflower was on sale at IGA this week, 2 heads for $3 so I decided to make some soup. I usually like a creamy, fatty, cheesy cauliflower soup so was trying to think of a different way and thought curry might just do trick. I was thinking more along the lines of Indian curry but found one with Thai curry and it looked good. Plus, I had Thai red curry at home. The recipe is here. I made a couple of minor edits to it.

Stir-Fried Chicken With Ketchup
Facebook reminded me that I've made this dish before, exactly one year ago today, and it was surprisingly very, very good! I found the recipe here and decided to make it again tonight. It is one of those "simple" dishes which yields amazing flavor. It reminds me of Chinese sweet and sour chicken actually.
