Hey sweet friends! I am just so overwhelmed with all the encouragement and sources you have shared with the news I now need to be gluten-free! You are right, it is not hard! It’s just a new normal. And if we have the blessing of living long enough we have been through quite a bit of new normal’s! Hungry? Let’s eat well this week…
MONDAY- SOUP DAY
I love the idea of butternut squash soup but really just the “idea” of it until I made this recipe. And tweaked my tweak a bit. Instead of bacon I now use 1/2 the tube of Bob Evan’s sage sausage! I cook the sausage in the dutch oven before I add the apples and chicken broth.
If you only like the idea of butternut squash soup give my tweaked tweak a try! You will probably love it!
And if you want to get a little crazy… add the bacon as a garnish! WHAT? Oh, yes friend!
- DELICIOUS ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
- SLICED APPLES AND PEARS
TUESDAY
This is such a glorious company worthy dish to eat on a weeknight! And to make this a little more WW friendly I’ll use half and half instead of heavy cream. I’ll be using just use 2TBS of sauce over my portion of salmon even though I could literally drink the sauce!
I can’t wait to make this main dish recipe from Christina at Eat Well 101!

Hi Yvonne, so excited to see your new home progress. I’ve gotten so much inspiration from you over the past few years.
I was wondering if you have used Any of the new pressure cookers, I.e. Instant Pot? I’m debating on purchasing one . I’m 66 yrs. and not sure about giving up traditional cooking. Any thoughts?
Gayle,
I have an IP and it is amazing !!!!
If I forget to lay my 2 boneless chicken breast out I can put them FROZEN w 2 cups of chicken broth or I use pineapple juice as well!! Done in 10 minutes!!! About 20-30 min total adding in the time it takes to come to pressure!! Love it!!! A roast in an hour!! Ribs in 30 min!!!
