Yes, there were costume changes.

Now for some perfect fall recipes. First up is this delish Curried Butternut Squash and Apple Soup that literally took minutes to throw together...
I just took a pre-baked butternut squash outta my fridge, sauteed one apple with 1 small chopped onion and when nice and soft added 1 1/2 tsp curry powder and 1 tsp cinnamon. Then I heated the squash in the microwave and added the squash and apple curry mixture in the blender with 2 cups chicken broth and 2 cups water, then just blend away. You can start with less liquid if like and of course you can use all water. Then just added water and blend until you get it to your desired consistency. Super simple!!

Next was a recipe from Clean Eating Magazine and I just loved it! Such great flavors that you would never expect to put together.

FRUITY CURRIED CHICKEN
Serves 3

• Olive oil cooking spray
