Love & Lemons Cooking Club – October! – Love and Lemons

Join the Love & Lemons Cooking Club Challenge this month! It’s easy to enter, and one lucky winner will receive a prize. Find all the details below.

Our Cooking Club is a fun way to celebrate the Love & Lemons community of readers. The concept is super simple – each month, I choose a recipe. You make it, and you mailto:[email protected]”>email me a photo. At the end of the month, I randomly select one winner to receive a prize.

I love the sense of community that comes from so many people cooking one recipe each month. We’re kicking off our October challenge today with our https://www.loveandlemons.com/pumpkin-soup-recipe/”>pumpkin soup recipe, and I hope you’ll join in the fun. Here’s how it works:

The Prize: A $200 Williams Sonoma Gift Card!

At the end of the month, I’ll randomly select a winner and post all of the photos. This time, we’re giving away a $200 Williams Sonoma Gift Card.

Happy soup season! This https://www.loveandlemons.com/pumpkin-soup-recipe/”>pumpkin soup recipe is one of the first soups I make each fall, and I thought it would be a fun seasonal pick for the Cooking Club this month. It’s super creamy, amazingly comforting, and filled with rich squash and curry flavor. I like to use kabocha squash for this recipe, but if you can’t find one, red kuri, buttercup, or even butternut squash would work nicely instead. Make it a meal by pairing it with https://www.loveandlemons.com/no-knead-bread-recipe/”>good crusty bread and/or a simple salad. We love it with this https://www.loveandlemons.com/pear-salad-recipe/”>pear salad recipe!

This recipe is both vegan and gluten-free.

Last Month’s Recipe

Last month’s recipe was my https://www.loveandlemons.com/granola/”>homemade granola. So many of you made this recipe your own:

• Catherine added cacao powder,
• Jackie mixed in dried peaches,
• Melissa used chocolate hazelnut butter instead of the almond butter,
• and Josephine added tahini, pecans, sunflower seeds, and cashews.

And that’s just to name a few! I’m so glad you had fun with this one. Here are all your photos:

And Kristie was our winner!
