Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

This recipe is from my Fall Cleanse & Reset Program 

I’ve been hard at work gathering the resources and materials for my Fall Cleanse and Reset Program. I was asked to share some of my favorite squash & pumpkin recipes. What a great idea! This is a wonderful way to share and to let folks know that a cleanse and reset doesn’t have to be boring, nor does it mean you will have to starve yourself. Instead, it can be quite nourishing and yummy! Well, here’s one of my favorites! Enjoy, and let me know how you like it.

Golden Milk Recipe

Golden Milk Recipe

Golden Milk Recipe

This is an ancient recipe which is healthy and soothing. I like to whip up a batch of Turmeric Paste and keep it in the refrigerator so I can have it readily available. Golden Milk is a soothing bedtime treat, or a great way to begin your morning. Turmeric has been used since ancient times for it’s anti-inflammatory effects. The Black Pepper & Coconut oil or Ghee all help with releasing curcumin, which has the anti-inflammatory benefits in the turmeric. The ingredients in the Turmeric paste are loaded with anti-oxidants, and several of the ingredients in Turmeric Paste (cinnamon, ginger & turmeric) may decrease inflammation and joint pain. 

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups Milk (Your choice: almond, pecan, coconut, dairy all work – the ancients used cows milk – I prefer organic dairy)
  • 2 tsp Turmeric Paste
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • Optional: a tiny piece of fresh ginger
  • 1 Tablespoon Raw Honey

Combine first 4 ingredients in a sauce pan and heat until simmering. Remove from heat, stir in honey and serve in your favorite mug.

Turmeric Paste

  • 1/2 Cup Turmeric Powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Ginger Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup ghee or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup water
