In the Fall I try to eat as much butternut squash as I can and I am always looking for new recipes to try using it, this Butternut Squash Sage Pizza look like something I am going to have to try.
Soup is always a good idea in the Fall, especially if it is pumpkin. This Caramelized Onion Pumpkin Soup sounds delicious!

Pumpkin Cinnamon Twist |
Doesn’t this Pumpkin Cinnamon Twist from Lucinda Pantry look delicious? I think it would be a great treat for weekend breakfast.
My favorite sweet treat is a doughnut and although I do not make them often I think I might make these Swedish Doughnuts soon.

The biological clock article really hit me. My parents started late for their era–my mom was 35 when she had me, her first of four children. I had my first and only child in my mid-40s. I did think a lot about what age I would be when my child was in college, etc. OTOH, I know friends who had to take care of both their parents and their grandparents, who were barely 20 years apart in age. I do know that, feeling the preciousness of time, I appreciate every minute much more.
I love butternut squash too! Every single recipe here is something I want to try, printed out several to begin with. Our weekend was wonderful with our youngest son and his family coming in to stay with us. Just watching our 6 year old and almost 4 year old granddaughters play and laugh and talk was the best treat ever. And we're finally getting some really cold weather here in Nashville this weekend so my first pot of chili of the season is planned. Leaves are still gorgeous here. My favorite tv shows I watched this week are 4 episodes of Salt Fat Acid Heat on Netflix. And I've begun reading Christmas books.
A lovely week, as are all of your pretty things here today!
The pumpkin cinnamon twist looks good.
