The origins of this soup date back two years when I made it for friends over for lunch one Autumn Sunday. I'm not a pumpkin fan, but for reasons I cannot explain now, I was uncharacteristically inspired to make a pumpkin-centric soup. I knew - for my sake - that this soup would need bold flavors to offset the pumpkin. So I used a Mexican flavor profile, confident that smokey chili powder and chipotles in adobo and perky lime would lift the pumpkin out of its one-dimensional life.

Golden Pasta with Lemon & Peas

We all know Golden Milk (aka Turmeric Milk). But have you tried Golden Pasta yet? I take a favorite flavor combo you've seen a lot on the blog -- lemon and turmeric -- and turn it into a creamy, protein-rich, mac & cheese style pasta that can be dairy free and vegan if you need, by swapping Parmesan for nutritional yeast.
