Squash Bisque with caramelized onions & spicy croutons
Tonight, we took Evan to his first football game. He was in rare form loving it all, bouncing up and down as the bands played. Pretty cool stuff. oh yeah, the boys had a blast too!
A cold night like tonight makes me think of crisp evenings and warm soup!
Cheers!
