Butternut squash soup and mini sandwich pizzas
Hi friends, Been away from my blog for quite sometime now. My daughter's exams are finally over and its now time for some awesome outings and fun with my daughter !!! Today it was raining cats and dogs in my part of town. Such a wet weather so couldn't possibly go out. Decided to make something really hot and spicy for dinner. So here goes...........
Butternut squash is a form of pumpkin. Slightly longish and has a sweetness to it.Adding spice to it, gives it a wholesome flavor. It goes well with both Asian and Mediterranean flavors . Due to its yellow colour it is extremely rich in vitamin A and vitamin E.
