Of course we had to open a little vino tonight! A fabulously delicious granache!
And I made my favorite KERF recipe ever invented!!
Anna helped with the squash…
Check the recipe for the technique but tonight’s version included:
- 1 medium-small butternut squash
- 1 carrot
- 10 oz grass-fed ground chuck
- An Imagine brand butternut squash soup (the small box)
- 1 glove garlic
- Cinnamon, chili powder, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, S+P
- 2 apples
- Like 6 cups of kale?
- An additional cup of chicken broth (we let it cook + thicken too much)
SO GOOD!! Anna loved it too 8)
On the side we all split the cheddar-herb scuffin Anna bought at Great Harvest. Mmmm!!
And I had another oz of wine –
Dessert bites included bites of Gina’s macaroon and Great Harvest power bar (a mix of PB, grains and fruit/nuts that the husband brought home)
We’re off to get in bed early because tomorrow we’re going running first thing (Anna requested another hard-core KERF workout!) and then we’re headed to NC Wine Country!!!! Well, just to visit a winery in the morning and stop by Davidson (my alma mater) before lunch uptown.
Happy Weekend!
That recipe looks Delish! I will try that asap!
Your KERF recipe + Gina’s macaroons = amazing eats!!
Have a restful evening, and a TERRIFIC day tomorrow!! Lots of fun planned!! 🙂
I definitely need to try that recipe! Love the wine glass picture! Have fun tomorrow!
The soup looks sooo good. Hope you have a good day tomarrow.
LOVE the recipe! total drool-worthy and perfect for the cold weather!
Delicious dinner + wine + good company = perfect night!
And I’m off to see a U2 cover band. Equally classy.
You are making this challenge look easy-peasy! I’m glad your cousin is having fun, it all seems like a great time!

Again, I wish I liked Kale…the soup looks amazing!
Soup is always good, but I think that cheddar-herb scuffin sounds amazing! I need to try to make those.
great sounding dinner!
I’m loving the scuffin!
And your soup looks muy interesante. I’ve never seen kale in soup before!
Your soup looks amazing, I am totally going to have to check that out since I have a squash sitting here waiting for me to do something with it!
I think that is a great recipe to have my first try of kale! Looks so yummy.
I love the picture with the hubby blurred in the background. Were those your ‘wine goggles’ on? lol
Sounds like Anna’s having an amazing time 😀 Have fun on your early run!!
you and Anna are too cute! have fun! and I love how the hub is lounging on the couch through the wine glass!!
what a special little dinner, have a blast tomorrow and get a good night’s sleep!
At first I read “ganache” instead of “granache,” guess you can see where my mind is!
Glad you all enjoyed the soup it looks amazing!
Have a great workout in the a.m.!
Oh my goodness that soup looks incredible!!!

Oh the soup looks wonderful!
Hi Kath!
I’m really digging your orange wall in your living room. It’s so vibrant yet cozy. Did you choose that color yourselves? It’s beautiful! 🙂
Julia,
It was kind of an accident. It was supposed to be coral and turned out bright orange. It’s pinker during the day. We’ve grown to like it thought!
