What?
You don't make butternut squash apple soup after a long, stressful day at work? Surely, I'm not the only one who occasionally takes her stress out on a big pan of fall goodness while listening to soothing piano music.
I've brought you reports of this goodness before, but this time I put a little apple spin on it. Basically, take Joy's fabulous recipe and chop up 3 apples in chunks and cook alongside the squash and pumpkin for 30 min or so.
I topped mine with some honey greek yogurt and a little feta!
Now prepare yourself for a photo frenzy...
Tastes good
Creamy, sweet and tart
I seriously looove the Buddha bowls I bought from Kath's OpenSky store.
This is one of the uglier race shirts I've received. Luckily, the Portland Marathon gave us two shirts - a long sleeve finisher's tech shirt and this dirty dishwater shirt.
Mmm good! I hope you enjoyed that little photo series brought to you by the manfriend. I think just looking at these photos cheered me up a bit.
A few of the key songs I listened to while writing this:
Etta James - Sunday Kind of Love
Sade - By Your Side
Darius Rucker - Drinkin' and Dialin'
Sara Barielles - Love Song
Kanye West - School Spirit
The White Stripes - Icky Thump
Talk about random, eh? Yeah, my playlist is pretty much all over the board. I love all kinds of music. What's your favorite method of stress relief?

I usually destress by reading, running or cooking. Or, all of the above in some sequence ;)
I like my Portland Marathon t-shirt lol! Mostly because it fits me really good and race shirts are always usually too small or too big for me!
On a stressful day, I like to run. Then take a nice long shower, sit in my pj's, and either knit or read. Knitting is super relaxing because it's repetitive and I get into a rhythm and it is just really soothing for me. :)
