The Palisade Fire in Los Angeles from Burbank, CA. We’re praying for everyone affected by these fires and the heroes who are fighting the fires and helping communities. This is so sad 😔

What is your favorite fall recipe or meal?🍁

Pumpkin Curry Soup Recipe
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil (or coconut oil)
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
1 tbsp red curry paste (or more to taste)
2 tsp curry powder
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree (or 2 cups homemade pumpkin puree)
1 can (14 oz) coconut milk (full-fat for a creamy texture)
3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp turmeric
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice of 1 lime
Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Toasted pumpkin seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:
Sauté the Aromatics:

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Add the Spices and Curry Paste:

Stir in the red curry paste, curry powder, cumin, and turmeric. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom and become fragrant.

Add the Pumpkin and Broth:

Stir in the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, and vegetable or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Season the Soup:

Add the maple syrup (if using), lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the soup for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Blend the Soup (Optional):

If you prefer a smooth soup, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.

Adjust Seasoning:

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more curry paste for spice, or more salt and lime juice to balance flavors.

Serve:

Ladle the pumpkin curry soup into bowls.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, and sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds for added texture.

Optional Additions:
Protein Boost: Add cooked chickpeas or shredded chicken to the soup for a heartier meal.

Serve with: Crusty bread or naan on the side.
This pumpkin curry soup has the perfect blend of creamy, spicy, and savory flavors with a hint of sweetness from the coconut milk and pumpkin. It’s a warming, comforting dish that’s both easy and quick to prepare!

Isn't this absolutely adorable? 🎃
Spooky Halloween Charcuterie Board

Ingredients:

Cheeses:
Cheddar cheese cubes (cut into pumpkin shapes using small cookie cutters)
Brie cheese (decorate with "spiderwebs" using thin lines of honey or jam)
Goat cheese or cream cheese logs (coat in crushed black pepper or black sesame seeds for a "bat" look)
Mozzarella balls (decorate with black olives for "eyeballs")

Meats:
Salami or pepperoni (roll them into "roses")
Prosciutto (arrange it to look like “mummy wraps”)
Sliced ham (folded to create texture)

Fruits & Veggies:
Green and purple grapes (for a spooky color palette)
Dried apricots and figs (look eerie and earthy)
Clementine pumpkins (small peeled clementines with celery stalks in the middle)
Carrot sticks and celery stalks
Sliced cucumbers (cut into spooky shapes like ghosts or bats using small cookie cutters)

Crackers & Bread:
Black sesame crackers or charcoal crackers (for a dark look)
Breadsticks (use as "bones")
Pretzel sticks (resemble "logs" or "bones")

Extras:
Olives (green and black for “eyeballs” or "spider bodies")
Pickles (small gherkins for an eerie green touch)
Candy eyeballs (can be placed on cheese or meats)
Halloween-themed chocolates or candies (like candy corn, or pumpkin-shaped chocolates)

Assembly:
Start with the Big Items:

Place large cheese chunks or logs first, like the brie or goat cheese. Arrange the goat cheese in a "bat" shape and drizzle the brie with honey or jam to form a spiderweb.

Add Meats:

Roll salami or pepperoni into "roses" and place them around the cheese. Fold prosciutto like "mummy wraps" to create texture and fill the board.

Create “Pumpkin” Features:

Arrange cheddar cheese in small pumpkin shapes, and add clementine "pumpkins" with celery stalks.

Eyeball Details:

Use mozzarella balls with black olive slices to create "eyeballs." Place them strategically around the board for a creepy effect.
Spooky Veggies and Fruits:

Add grapes for a moody color. Include cut cucumbers shaped like bats or ghosts, and place figs and apricots for an earthy, spooky touch.

Finish with Crackers and Breadsticks:

Place crackers, breadsticks, and pretzels around the board to fill in any gaps. The breadsticks can be arranged to look like “bones.”

Garnish:

Add candy eyeballs for extra spookiness, or scatter some Halloween-themed chocolates or candies around the board.

Optional Dips:
Black Bean Hummus: A dark, spooky dip for veggies or crackers.
Guacamole: For a "witch’s brew" color.
Spicy Red Pepper Dip: For a blood-red color that adds a pop of spookiness.

This Halloween charcuterie board is easy to customize and can be as spooky or as simple as you want!
