Butternut Squash Soup with Turmeric, Ginger & Cinnamon – recipe on page 13

KitchenAid Immersion Hand Blender I’ve had my KitchenAid hand blender since 2010, and still use it regularly with no signs of slowing down. It’s perfect for blending soups – like the Butternut Squash soup on page 13 – without the mess and cleanup of a jar blender, and it’s also great for dips, shakes, smoothies, and more.

Whipped Cinnamon-Honey Butter Project – gift project on page 14

Mini Mason jars
Ribbon, string, or twine for the jars – I love this variety pack of decorative jute.
Gift tag stickers
