A balanced, easy meal built from a few things you already know how to make.


Butternut squash soup with homemade gnocchi and a drizzle of herb sauce.
A simple dinner that just works.

Some meals don’t need to be complicated.


They just need to work.


Something warm.

Something fresh.

Something that brings it all together.


🍲 

START HERE FOR EASY DINNER

Butternut Squash Soup is so good at making you fel amazing and wierdly full especially for a delicious easy dinner.



Soft, warm, and grounding.


🥄 

ADD SOMETHING RICH

Homemade Gnocchi is super easy to make and when its fresh in your home with something as tasty as a warm soup that makes your heart and soul sing and I middle finger promise it is so much easier then it seems.



Something a little heavier that makes it feel like a full meal.


🌿 

BALANCE IT OUT

Cilantro Lime Garlic Sauce on top is like a different way to put a bit of pesto on top of your soup but this will be a nice combo to help balance out the grounded feeling of the butternut squash soup.



Just enough brightness to lift everything.

WHY THIS WORKS

Soft + rich + fresh.


That balance makes it feel complete.


Live Soft & Boldly Brave.
