a winner

my favorite part of our "catch all" dinner tonight was finding this little gem in my pantry as i was quickly trying to russel up some grub for my hungry little hippos. i forgot i bought it a few weeks ago and thank goodness i did because while Mayden wouldn't go near it (surprise surprise), Cameron inhaled it! he was like a little bird begging for more every 3 seconds until two bowl fulls were gone.

this was the Butternut Squash variety and i can't wait to get my hands on the others. the packaging was not my favorite... i felt like a lot got left in there but next time i think i'll just cut the whole thing open to scrape everything out. last winter i was horrified to find that the tomato soup we use has High Fructose Corn Syrup in it!?! i guess that's why it tastes so damn good! so i am on the look out for better soups and seems to me i have found a winner in V8.

one thing i LOVE about fall & winter is all the soups, chowders & chilli consumed. idealy i'd like to make our own soups etc. this winter and i do plan on making that happen however there are the days (like today) when i can't pull it together fast enough and these will be perfect to have on hand. the only minor down side to this dinner was that i had to use a bowl w/ a pig on the bottom (i shared w/ Camo) because we have absolutely no clean adult bowls.
