Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
The ultimate autumn soup is butternut squash soup, in my opinion. We already associate squash and pumpkin with fall, and soups are a welcome warming presence in these cooler months, so what better than a marriage of these two delights? Here is my all-time favourite butternut squash soup recipe. It is a real crowd-pleaser, thick and creamy. Please dive in to the recipe below!
Thai Coconut Curry Soup
Here is a recipe for a luscious and exotic Thai coconut soup.
The original recipe we used was based on this one from All Recipes. I've tweaked it a bit here, but it still contains the basic delicious elements of the original recipe.

Fresh Ginger Juice
I was reading up on the health benefits of ginger, and it is useful for warding off germs, calming nausea, and even soothing sore muscles. In fact, some studies have found that ginger has some antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties!

If I had to describe these truffles in one word, it would be decadent. With a creamy milk chocolate shell, and a soft, creamy raspberry ganache center, these truffles are sure to be a hit!

An Easy Greek Meal: Souvlaki Pitas & Tzatziki Recipe
Souvlaki pitas are one of my favourite meals - not only are they easy to make, but they taste absolutely magnificent. I first discovered souvlaki at a local Greek restaurant, and from that very day, I was hooked. I was on a lunch date with my mum at the time, and as soon as we'd finished our meals, I asked mum if we could go grocery shopping to get the fixings so I could make souvlaki that evening for dinner! Caveat emptor: these pitas are quite messy, so do not eat this meal in front of someone you are trying to impress - unless you're trying to impress them with your spilling skills.
Easy No-Bake Jar Cheesecakes
I discovered mason jar cheesecakes on Pinterest one day, and I was immediately intrigued. A cheesecake recipe is always a go for me, but a cheesecake recipe you can literally put in your backpack to take on a hike? Even better! My special pal and I made these cheesecakes for a picnic that we went on a few weeks ago, and boy, was that one of the greatest decisions we made that day!
