Jane Day is co-author with Dr. John Day of "The Longevity Plan," documenting their journey to China's Longevity Village. "Preparing food for guests has always been a stressful thing - feeling inadequate and fearing that the dishes wouldn't turn out. Posting recipes has been an exercise in the ultimate confrontation of this fear. Gratefully, the joy in figuring out how to make favorite dishes with healthier ingredients now exceeds the fear and I take courage in the idea that maybe I can help someone else do the same."

I’d been craving butternut squash soup since we enjoyed it at our friend’s art show last week.  I blended some onion, sweet potato and butternut squash together and like this version even better! It’s rich and sweet, easy to make and perfect for the season. Enjoy!
