Elana's Pantry Butternut Squash Soup/ Roasted Fingerling Potatoes



All week I have been trying out different concoctions for Thanksgiving.  The reason you haven't seen any posted is because I botched most of them! So, instead of trying to get them "just right", I resorted to making a recipe from a blog I know is reliable: Elana's Pantry.  She is gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and probably lots of other "free"s that I'm not remembering. 

This is her Butternut Squash Soup: It's so easy and tastes great.  My husband, who doesn't usually like creamy soups, gave it the thumbs up ;)

If you're looking for an easy side-dish for Thanksgiving, here is my recipe for Roasted Fingerling Potatoes:

Yellow and Purple fingerling potatoes
Grapeseed or Coconut Oil
Herbs de Provence
Real Salt

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Poke potatoes with a fork.  Spread potatoes on a cookie sheet and coat them with oil.  Sprinkle Herbs de Provence and Real Salt on potatoes.  Bake until tender (about 30 min.)
