I feel like October sprang upon us unexpectedly. We’ve been busy with school and have had family in town for a couple weeks, so we’ve been too distracted to look at the calendar! I guess the weather should have clued me in because we are finally experiencing some cooler temperatures. Our temps are still high during the day, but we are dropping into the 60s during the overnight hours. I’m so grateful for this!

I’m hoping you’re going to post some of those butternut squash recipes!
If things go according to plan, I’ll post the Butternut Squash Chicken Pot Pie recipe.
I made a butternut squash soup a couple of weeks ago for lunch. I took pictures of this, but I haven’t had a chance to post the recipe yet. We’ll see if I get around to it!
I feel like October snuck up on us also! It sounds like you have a delicious month planned.
With so much going on, it is easy to get distracted!
Thanks for stopping by!
Yummy 😋
Thank you!
