Butternut Squash & Shallot Bisque

I’ve made the decision after MUCH careful consideration, and talking to other people and my fiance, to put off school for a few years. Some of you may not understand why this is such a BIG deal, but anyone trying to finish college, working towards  degree they want so desperately, and a career they’ve been so excited to pursue, while having a little baby will understand where I’m coming from. I’ve had this internal debate going on since June, when he was born, then I decided to go back to school after i went back to work and someone convinced me it was a good idea…but last week, when I didn’t see my son for three days and was exhausted, tired, miserable, and missing out on him, I realized I wasnt ready. School will ALWAYS be there, my little man is only going to be a baby once, I don’t want to miss a thing, and I already was, just in the first week. So from now on, I’ll continue working my nights, but am so excited to be home all day with my babe!! I plan on taking a photography class, trying out a spin class, and just enjoying my life and my little boy growing up! (So quickly!)

Now onto this bisque! It was AMAZING! DO NOT be scared away by the fact that it’s mostly squash, its sweet and salty, so flavorful and so delicious..and SO EASY! I mean how hard is it to chop up squash and shallots, toss them on a pan with olive oil, bake, puree, and SERVE! It was a delicious addition to out roast chicken!! (Recipe to come soon!) Make this, its sooo good! 🙂

Happy Thursday!
