Butternut Squash Soup

This is my favorite butternut squash soup. Since fall is around the corner, will you join my in giving it a try? I’ve tried this with onion, but I like the taste of leeks much better.

Vegan Ice Cream

Finally! I’m intolerant to coconut and pea protein, so there aren’t any store bought vegan gluten free ice creams that I’m able to eat.
