This soup is a wonderful cool weather treat with the comforting flavor of butternut squash, sweetened with pears and amped up with curry and ginger. Don't forget the sugared and peppered pepitas and goat cheese for garnish.

PUMPKIN AND CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING

WITH NO COMMENTS

Pumpkin and chocolate pair particularly well together. This is a seasonal riff on my very popular Hawaiian Chocolate Bread Pudding. It is a creamy, chocolatey, pumpkin and spice delight that takes just a few minutes of active prep time.

MEXICAN MULE COCKTAIL

Mexican Mules are a variation of the always delicious Moscow Mule. Made with tequila, fresh lime juice, simple syrup and ginger beer, these cocktails are the perfect summer thirst-quencher. Take your Mexican Mules up a notch and add one of our Tequila Lime Boozy Pops as an edible garnish.

ORANGE AND BITTERS GLAZED SWEET POTATOES
