The Perfect Fall Meal
I recently had a bowl of Butternut Squash Bisque at a restaurant while traveling and it was one recipe I knew I had to remake! It took a few tries, but I have something luscious and delicious to share with you. Soup is such a popular fall dish; it warms the body and curbs those comfort food cravings as the temperatures start to drop. This Butternut Squash Bisque is thick, creamy, rich, and healthy – great for a cozy dinner! I’m calling this recipe “bisque” instead of “soup” because it’s so thick and creamy. The recipe can be found here. I start by chopping all the veggies and doing some prep work. This was the longest part of making the bisque and admittedly was my first-time preparing butternut squash, so it took some getting used to.

Comfort Food
As our weather turns a bit chilly we begin thinking of warming comfort food. When I think of comfort food and cold weather, the first thing that always comes to my mind is soup. A recipe that we have shared at Festival Foods for many years is our Hearty Italian Soup recipe featuring our fresh homemade Italian sausage. Our Italian sausage has become a tradition in many recipes of our customers, truly a customer favorite. We start with fresh pork and mix with the perfect blend of seasonings, whether it is hot or mild they are both seasoned perfectly. Our sausage delivers a special flavor in every bite of your dish. Chef Melanie shows you how easy it is to make our soup recipe in this video. Serve the soup with a warm baguette or better yet a warm Ciabatta bread from our Bakery. Another great recipe with our Italian … Continue reading
