Hey everyone this is Anjanette from Momma Young at Home! I am so excited to be sharing one of my Fall Recipes and guest posting today on Everyday Southwest. Fall is the beginning of my favorite time of year and it is air, that means delicious fresh vegetables are ready to be plucked from gardens everywhere. Our garden is full of tomatoes and pumpkins, the one thing I didn’t plant was squash. Our neighbor had that covered when he handed me a beautiful Buttercup Squash. Of course the foodie in me took over and visions of Buttercup Squash Soup began creating itself in my head.
