"I'm a spud"

I named this blog after my brother Ryan because he loves to be in the kitchen watching and helping me cook. The quote comes from when he was in high-school. I was helping him get ready for a school dance and he looked so handsome so I told him to go tell mom that he looked like a stud. Well, you can guess the rest...he went into the living room and proudly said, "Mom, I'm a spud!"
I LOVE to cook! I have compiled recipes for years. Some are passed down from family, others I have collected from friends, but most I have found, experimented with, and tweaked to make them gluten free or just the way I like it. Since I have been gluten free for 3 years now, the recipes on this blog will be gluten free but I'll also post the non-gluten free version of the ones that aren't naturally gluten free so you don't have to worry about buying the weird and expensive flours and other ingredients.

Butternut Squash Soup

I found this recipe on Pinterest and tweaked it a bit but it was AWESOME!!!

4 Tbl. butter
1/2 onion, chopped
6 cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 tsp. dried marjoram
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese

Saute onions in butter.  Add squash, chicken broth, and spices and boil until squash is tender.  Ladle squash mixture into a blender with cream cheese and blend until smooth and creamy.  Put mixture back into pot and heat but do not boil.
