One of the common benefits of “conventional” foods is the convenience factor in preparation. Given the wonders of modern chemistry one can, with very little effort, put together something for a quick & easy meal.

The Fall Vegetable harvest is in and there’s a chill in the air. Well, all this makes for the perfect time for a delicious and warming bowl of organic butternut squash soup. Now there’s nothing fancy about this soup, there doesn’t have to be…Butternut Squash is such a fantastic vegetable that it stands on it’s own culinary legs without any need for any other major players.
