Good morning! How was your weekend? Mine was thankfully no where near what they predicted. Our town basically shut down on Thursday and remained so until Sunday when people started to venture out. Everything was cancelled, schools, events, small businesses, etc. We had a lots of wind with gusts ups to 50 mph, and rain but it was never really heavy. I am sure there will be whining and complaining that people were made to evacuate but hopefully they take a look at the events in North Carolina and they thank God we are not in that mess. 

I have family and a lot of friends in North Carolina who are suffering everything from loss of power to damaged, destroyed and flooded homes. So please lets keep everyone in NC, including blog friends like Kristy and Beth from Design Chic in our prayers. 

Lately I feel as if I lost my mojo when it comes to cooking and baking, I think because it has been TOO HOT! That changed this weekend because I was sick of being stuck inside and working or watching storm coverage. I broke out the pumpkin magazine I mentioned on Saturday and I made Bourbon Pumpkin Bread and also this fabulous Pumpkin-Ginger Soup.

The soup definitely has a Thai or Asian flare to it and depending upon who many chili peppers you put in it has a little kick. It is a refreshing change from traditional pumpkin soup and I think you will enjoy it.

Pumpkin-Ginger Soup

Ingredients

1 15 oz. can pumpkin

1 14.5 oz. can of chicken of vegetable broth

1 1/2 cups of apricot or mango nectar

1 Tbsp. grated fresh ginger

 2 cloves minced garlic

1 5 oz. can of evaporated skim milk or unsweetened coconut milk

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

2 Tbsp. rice vinegar

Dash bottled hot pepper sauce or 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Garnish

Sour cream or yogurt 

Dried Thai peppers

Pumpkin Seeds

Directions

In a large saucepan combine the first five ingredients(through garlic). Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Summer uncovered, 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

Whisk in the next four ingredients( through hot pepper sauce/red pepper flakes) until smooth, then add the cilantro and stir. 

If desired top soup with sour cream, peppers and pumpkin seeds. 

To my friends and family in North Carolina, we have not forgotten you, you are in our prayers.

I hope that you have a great week.

    Glad you escaped the worst of the storm. I've been chatting with friends in Hong Kong, which is taking a beating right now, but they've built to withstand a lot of wind.
    That sounds like a delicious soup. I've been making pasta sauce with the end-of-season tomatoes–the extra-ripe ones that are a little smashed get sold for a song (I buy tons of the not-smashed one to eat, too!). Since I freeze the sauce instead of canning (which requires a certain level of acidity to avoid botulism), I add in lots of vegetables. The latest batch was made with yellow tomatoes, and I added a big beet, a yellow pepper and half a potimarron (a kind of sweet pumpkin), plus onions, garlic and herbs from the garden. It turned out to be more pumpkin than tomato, but got a big thumbs up from the rest of the family. My sneaky way of expanding the vegetable intake…

    It is best to be cautious in the face of disaster.

Now the sun is shining and I am feeling so relaxed I don’t want to go outside. I’ve been perusing Pinterest and Instagram and there is so much inspiration for Spring and summer. I want to repaint a few rooms in the house(even through I don’t like painting) I want to plant a huge garden and have a wildflower meadow, I’ve found at least 30 recipes to try and I want to order at least 10 dresses from various stores. I better rein myself in before I do some serious damage to my wallet. Tell me what are you doing this morning?

I hope that you are surrounded by love on this beautiful day, even if it is only by  the love of God which is the best love there is. Life is what we make it and we can be sad that another Easter finds us at home or we can enjoy it for what it is, a beautiful day, an Easter egg hunt for the dogs, a delicious Bear claw pastry that I made yesterday using a recipe from @sweet_things_by_lizzie_ on the @redstaryeast blog, time to rest, relax and rejuvenate. Oh and to eat lots of candy left by the Easter bunny, is 3 @reeses peanut butter eggs before breakfast too many, asking for a friend?

Next year I might branch out and try turmeric and coffee. Have you dyed any eggs? What did you use to dye them? Are you have a hunt? I loved hunting for Easter eggs as a child, we always has a huge hunt with eggs filled with candy and some with money. That was back when $5.00 was like winning the lottery. Am I dating myself?

If so please share. Have a great day! Happy Easter.
