I refuse to believe the winter is almost over, I love sitting comfortably in my warm kitchen and eat a hot cozy bowl of soup while enjoying the view of rain or wind outside my window (Florida doesn't get more wintery than that unfortunately).

Take advantage of this cold weather to spoil yourself with this delicious, rich, and creamy pumpkin soup. 
This one is served in a whole oven-roasted pumpkin, which makes it that much better:).

Whenever I go into the kitchen, whether it is for cooking or baking, I need to have my music with me. I thought it would be nice to share with you the exact song that describes my feeling towards each recipe. That way you can have a similar experience while cooking...

This is a recipe designed for winter, just like this cozy-feeling song Flowers in December by Mazzy Star

  12. Drizzle the whole pumpkin with olive oil, rub salt and pepper on the pumpkin.
  13. Roast the two pumpkin halves for 20-25 minutes. the top might be ready before the bottom half so check to make sure after 15-20 minutes.
