More of the Weekend

Along with family in town, Tyler had a hockey tournament this weekend, plus we had tickets to a play at Desert Star Friday night. The tournament was a AA tournament, so it was really hard. The Lightning have only lost one game the entire season...until this tournament. It was rough, they came in last, but I think they all learned a lot and we look forward to the next few games to shake of the losses.
Still playing with the new camera, trying to figure out what it all means. Tyler even got in and tried out a few pictures. (this is my grumpy face) A little blurry, but I was trying to get Tyler to laugh.

Saturday I volunteered at the Bountiful Basket pick up. I love getting these because it means I'll try new recipes to not waist the food that I normally wouldn't buy.

This time I got 3 butternut squashes that I had no idea what to do with. Another girl who volunteered led me to her blog where she shared the recipe I'm going to try for a yummy sausage, rice and butternut squash soup.

Also on her blog I found this treasure:


It's cake in a cup, a quick fix for those late night cravings. We tried it on Sunday and it was pretty good. Our whole family shared it, so the serving was pretty big for all 6 of us to have more than a taste.

Looks like lots of fun with family! Jenn H. also has a delish squash soup recipe. I think I have it if you want it... I should look into that Bountiful Baskets thing. I don't try new things often enough.
