"This is such a fabulously delicious soup!! It can be made ahead by preparing as directed, but do not reheat the puréed squash mixture or top with the cream cheese spread as directed. Cool completely. Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days. When ready to serve, pour into saucepan and cook on medium-low heat until heated through, stirring frequently. Top with the cream cheese spread as directed."

I am a 56 year old Gramma that, for the first time in my life, has purchase myself a computer, and I didn't know what i was missing!! I have a husband tha I adore, and 4 grandchildren that of course surpass all others - lol - I am disabled, and am an at home person, so I have a lot of time on my hands, to play with my recipes, and I am enjoying every bit of it - My husband will eat anything that I cook, so I have carte blanche as far as that goes, so I have a great time trying out new recipes. Paula Deen has published some of my favorite cookbooks, her recipes are easy and quick to do. Her sweets are fantastics, especially her pound cakes, Yummm I guess the dish that I am famous for is my Christmas ham - my family all comes home for Christmas, and if i don't have my ham they are dissapointed, and my grandson wants the pistachio squares!!! so I guess that is the dishes that I'm famous for.
