I’ve got a busy teaching day today (12pm Power @ Burn and 5:25 Row, 6:20, 7:20 & 8:15 Tone @ Btone if anyone wants to come play!) so I’m just popping in quickly on the blog to share this super easy slow cooker butternut squash soup recipe I made the other day.
I freestyled the whole thing, basically just throwing a bunch of random stuff around my kitchen into the crock pot and hoping for the best, and the result was a delicious, filling soup that Joe and I have been eating all week. 
This would make for a great Thanksgiving dish if you’ve got a vegan or vegetarian at your table!

Before I get yelled at for classifying this as vegan and gluten-free, yes, I’m aware that the cheese and croutons in the pictures don’t fall into that category. I’m just talking about the soup itself. 🙂 If you meal prep each week, this is an awesome one to add to your plan! It makes a huge batch of soup that you can store in the refrigerator and reheat all week long for a quick lunch, dinner or snack.
What’s your current favorite slow cooker recipe? My oven is broken so I’m in desperate need of slow cooker and stovetop ideas!
This delicious quinoa salad is one of my favorites. The summery citrus flavors mix wonderfully with the classic autumn combo of dried cranberries, walnuts and cheese. Perfect for this time of year (or any). Oh, and it’s healthy.
I reshot the pictures for this recipe in 2016, but as a look back on how far my skills have come since it was first published in 2012, wanted to keep one of the originals (woof):
