An idea.  

Carve out dinner times as often as possible, to be together. 

To be at peace. 

To share your day.

To enjoy each other. 


We need to become aware of studies that show us that children are being damaged by screens and by the content on those screens and of studies about the high risk of cancer from screen use. And, of the breakdown of families and the terrible impact on all.

SO - picture dinner times as often as possible, together as a family, all devices out of the room, and talk and sharing with the food.  Even include preparation of the food.  How about making a delicious soup, and serving it with a healthful toast?

Here’s a wonderful, easy, quick recipe that could be fun for you all to make:

Yummy Butternut Squash Soup - makes about 4-5 servings

• about 8 cups of fresh cubed butternut squash, which you can find in the produce section of most groceries;
• Olive Oil;
• about 20 oz. of vegetable or chicken broth;
• about 2 c Heavy Cream;
• A large bag of baby spinach and a large chopped onion to saute to serve with your soup;
• Creme fraiche or sour cream or yogurt.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Turn squash cubes in oil until well coated.
Put onto baking sheet or baking pan, single layer, and roast at 400 deg for about an hour, until they are brown on the edges.

Can refrigerate at this point until ready to make the soup.

Blitz squash with broth in processor or with stick blender, and heat through.  Add cream

Saute chopped onion in olive oil, remove, then a bit more olive oil, and dump your large bag of spinach into the saute pan and saute til wilted.

Serve your soup as you wish -  top with your sautéed spinach and onion, creme fraiche, sour cream or yogurt, and. and sprinkle with red chili flakes if you want a touch of spicy,

Yum.

Love,
