I’ve been cooking a lot, since I’m not working. In between the bouts of kitchen experimentation, I put in job applications and cross my fingers. There are two dishes that I thought I would share with you. We ate the soup on a rainy day, and it was perfect. Of course, there are lots of recipes on the internet…but this one was my creation.\u00c2\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Butternut Squash Soup<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 butternut squash<\/a>
\n3 medium potatoes
\n3 large carrots
\n1 onion
\n2 cups milk
\n1\/2 cup butter
\nsalt, pepper
\nhoney
\ncinnamon<\/p>\n

Cut the butternut squash in half, place 1\/4 cup butter, a few tablespoons of honey, and a few teaspoons of cinnamon on top. Bake in oven for 2 hours at 350 F.<\/p>\n

While the squash is cooking, boil the potatoes, carrots, and onion in a pot of water. Drain. Put in food processor, blend well. When the squash is done, blend it in the food processor as well. Mix all of the ingredients well.<\/p>\n

Place the milk and butter in a pot, and heat until butter is completely melted. Add all of the ingredients, including the salt and pepper, and heat until the soup is smooth and completely mixed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A great side dish, especially with Persian food, is beets and yogurt<\/strong>. Ok, so a lot of people have a negative reaction to beets…but they have a lot of great qualities<\/a>! Don’t judge them.<\/p>\n

Peel a beet, and cut off the ends. Place in a pyrex dish with a few inches of water, and bake on 350 F until the beet is completely cooked. Let cool, then cut into cubes. Mix with plain white yogurt.
