That's it, I've had enough....

Humidity, be damned!  I don't care if your rearing your ugly head, turning my hair into Snooki-like proportions!  After nearly an entire day of dark & dreary skies and on & off rain, my soup 'hold-off till it's cool' could wait no longer and damn it: Soup was had! :) hahahhahahahahah....

....rightttttt around the time the skies parted and the sun shone for the first time all day....but let's not go there;)

And if you were quacking in your boots, worried whether apples were involved in last night's dinner as well...Never fear: OF COURSE THEY WERE! :)   All with a little help from Apple Cheddar Soup. 

FIRST:  The healthy ingredients... 

• Onion
• Butternut Squash
• Apple
• Potato

 And then, the decadent ingredients:

I crisped up 2 slices of prosciutto in a dry skillet (no need for that added 2 tablespoons of butter) and found this cheese at the Trader Joe's.  I figured "lite" cheese wasn't a bad idea since you used soo much of it for the recipe:

Tasted fine to me....I couldn't really taste any difference.  Maybe it helped that it was CELTIC cheese;)

After everything bubbled & boiled together...into the blender it went:

All to emerge as a pure waterfall of squash, apple & sage:)

After reading a few of the reviews, I made sure to add extra sage for added flavor and tasted as I went to add enough salt to give it a boost.....

 And came out with a wonderful bowl of savory & just a little bit sweet soup!  And the crispy proscuitto crumbles are oh-so-necessary!  They gave it just enough of a little salty KICK!  A little goes a long way:)

And soup has now just become our excuse to get another little Pretzel Demi...

How could you NOT?  Pretzels and cheese just BELONG together:)

Perfect for dipping:) 

YUM!!!  Loved, loved this soup!!  (And I'm sure I'll like it even better once this humidity flies south for the winter;) hahahhahahhahhaa....

For dessert...mmmmmmmmmmm....I cracked into one of the brownies I got from the "Fat Witch"...

Which witch???  

Well, a Caramel Witch:)

Mmmmmmmmmmm.....smooooth chocolate brownie with a soft layer of sweet caramel stuffed inside....just outstanding:)  So much better than I even thought it was going to be!  Good thing I saved more for another day....it was too yummy!

So now that I ended up posting this SUPER late...it's already time to me to go make TONIGHT'S dinner;) hahahahhahaha....Hope you have/had a good Wednesday! 

And speaking of Wednesday....is anyone watching "Hell's Kitchen" this year??  Does anyone think that Raj & Sabrina are actors?????  They just seem SOOOOOOOOOOOOO over the top!  But who knows....there are a boat load of crazies out there;)
