What I Bookmarked This Week

Love the addition of butternut squash in this favorite >> Butternut Squash & Sausage Tortellini Soup

Hello, yes >> Crispy Cider Braised White Chili Chicken Tacos

I shared these chicken wontons in spicy chili sauce last week and am here to report back that I made them and they were delicious! A big hit here. You can make them not spicy by just omitting the chili crisp.

I can’t wait to try this Hungarian mushroom soup.

I must have dinner on the brain because I also saved this chicken rice with buttered onions, yum.

Have a delicious weekend!
