Roasted Garlic Butternut Squash Soup

Smitha's Bake Love

With the colder days comes the yearning to eat warm, comforting, soul filling food. And I for one think, soups should make the top of the list.

Fall started already in New Jersey and the leaves keep reminding us to gear up for even more colder days.

Warm bowl of fresh soup made with healthy veggies, protein rich broth, simmered with fresh garlic, toasted with mighty spices and to finish it off this warm bowl is accompanied with a slice of fresh baked, toasted bread! – Can we just take a minute to imagine the dinner setup and fill our eyes first?

Butternut is slightly sweet in taste and nutty in taste. Packed richly with vitamins and minerals, this winter staple is

  • Boosts immunity
  • lowers cancer risk
  • Low in calories
  • Aids in bone health (High in Magnesium, Potassium & Manganese)
  • Healthy skin and hair

This simple, flavorsome, comforting dinner is…

India sees new lockdowns as coronavirus cases rise again – ABC News

The spike has been most pronounced in the western state of Maharashtra, where nearly 7,000 cases were detected in the past 24-hours, accounting for almost half of India’s over 14,000 cases confirmed on Monday. The weekly average for infections has nearly doubled to 5,229 in the state in the past two weeks, and most of the cases have been concentrated in a few areas, including India’s financial capital, Mumbai.

Public health officials are also sequencing the virus to see if it has mutated to be able to spread more easily, said state surveillance officer Dr. Pradeep Awate. He said that the virus evolving was natural, but that consequences of it evolving to transmit faster or become more virulent could be “catastrophic.”

¿Qué consideras « ofensivo »? — Barbara Crane Navarro

«Los mineros de oro cavan como cerdos salvajes por todas partes. Los ríos del bosque pronto no serán más que remansos fangosos llenos de lodo, aceite de motor y basura. También lavan el polvo de oro en los ríos, mezclándolo con el mercurio. Todas estas cosas sucias y peligrosas enferman las aguas y hacen que […]

Boris Johnson declares he is ‘fervently Sinophile’ as UK woos China

Can’t help being a Brit-Trump – say anything-do anything to look good… at the moment…

PM seeks to strengthen UK trade ties with Beijing at No 10 roundtable despite Uighur abuses

The UK is seeking to strengthen its economic and trade links with China after Boris Johnson stated he was “fervently Sinophile” and determined to improve ties “whatever the occasional political difficulties”.

The prime minister’s remarks at a Downing Street roundtable with Chinese businesses are likely to infuriate backbenchers in his Conservative party who want the government to take a tougher approach to Beijing’s human rights abuses.

Ted Cruz Is Literally Addicted to F###ing Up – (not quarantining after visit to Mexico)

Cruz’s clear attempt at reputational damage control after abandoning millions of people suffering from freezing weather, water shortages, power outages, and more has backfired in more ways than one. Not only are a lot of people reportedly not buying Cruz’s super performative charity posturing—I mean, look at the material—but the dude actually put every person in those photos at increased risk of covid transmission just by taking them! The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advise travelers returning to the United States from Mexico to self-quarantine for a week and get tested for covid-19 before resuming normal activities, scientist Peter Gleick tells BI. Being a psycho politician who stages photo opps to make yourself look good isn’t a “normal” activity by any stretch of the imagination, but you know what I mean. Probably not something he should’ve been doing mere days after traveling internationally during a global pandemic. Source: Ted Cruz Is Literally Addicted to Fucking Up

    Simple Sweet-Potato Cauliflower Stir fry

    Smitha's Bake Love

    If you like to have
    veggies for lunch but not in a boring way, then this simple style is for you. I
    like to have my veggie/fruits servings by lunch time, so that I can go for
    other food groups in the later part of the day. I went for this simple stir fry
    so that its both sweet and spicy at the same time.

    Both Sweet Potatoes and Cauliflower are rich in Vitamin C, Magnesium and Antioxidant. And the addition of simple spices make it all the more hearty, warm and filling. Next time you are at the grocery store, be sure to pick up this wonderful heathy vegetable to spice it up. I like to leave them separate but together on the plate.



    Enjoy the fry as is or
    with your favorite spicy ketchup or hot sauce.
