This is the time of year where everyone talks about pumpkins and butternut squash, I know. But please excuse me while I share this quick and easy recipe I made last night! I had some butternut squash left over so I figured I’d make a quick and easy soup before it went bad. Along with a gala apple, I roasted the squash in the oven for about 45 minutes – and my whole house smelled like Fall deliciousness. I was too lazy to take real photos, so I all have is this Instagram!

Anyway, although it’s a bit haphazard, here’s the recipe:

Butternut Squash & Apple Soup

3 cups of diced butternut squash
1 apple, diced (I used Gala)
Milk/Water/Chicken Broth
Gorgonzola
Croutons

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Toss butternut squash and apple with a bit of olive and lay flat on baking tray. Roast until soft, about 45 minutes. Once out of the oven, transfer the apple and squash to a bowl and puree. Add milk, water or chicken broth until you reach your desired consistency. [I used a combo of milk and water, only because I didn't have chicken broth on hand!]

Garnish with a few sprinkles of gorgonzola and croutons, and serve!

I am absolutely drooling over this amazingly gorgeous bedroom. At first, it was just the headboard that lured me in. But take a look at the details – from the studded walls to the dark mirrored nightstands to that lovely little nook in the corner.

I just had to look again – I forgot about the wallpaper above the studded panels, the amazing chandelier, the peacock blue dresser with the bright art.

Anyway, this bedroom is from the California Home and Design’s 2012 Small Space, Big Style LA Showcase. The space was designed by a group of seven designers, each with their own designated areas. The bedroom that we are oogling over was designed by Brian Patrick Flynn.

Macaroni and cheese is one of my all time favorite foods. I haven’t made it yet since the weather has cooled down, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been dreaming of it! So today when browsing through Pinterest, I found a mac and cheese recipe with butternut squash and bacon – oh my god, I had to share!

Most of the time when I make mac and cheese, that’s our main dish. But this recipe looks a little bit heavier than most, so I think it would be a great side dish with a light chicken or fish recipe – or even this Autumn Chopped Salad I also found while food searching.

All I know is that butternut squash plus bacon plus bread plus macaroni and cheese sounds like heavenly comfort food. I’ll probably have a fat attack after, but sometimes those are good for you, right?!

Do you have any Fall comfort food recipes you’ve recently discovered??

Shower curtains are a fun way to decorate your bathroom, don’t get me wrong – I am obsessed with mine! But, there’s something about a shower with glass doors that is oh-so sleek and sophisticated.

A glass shower door provides a clean look, as long as you stay up to speed with one of those swiper things. I would take one of those over a mildewy shower curtain liner any day! I had no idea that these glass doors are also referred to as shower enclosures – did you? I’m glad I do in case I have an opportunity to install one in the future! If you require strong and durable shower enclosure, as most people probably do, there are plenty of options that fit the bill and are chic and stylish as well.
