Although I love all the seasons, when autumn rolls around, I really get excited. This month , I'm sharing my recipe for Maple Butternut Squash and Apple Soup.

My column, What's Cookin' provides readers with a new recipe every month. Local to Peoria? Get a copy of the magazine at retail locations throughout area. From out of town? You can follow along online.

Founded in 1989, Peoria Magazines is Greater Peoria’s premier resource for business, community, lifestyle and art for over 30 years. I love to read my copy with a coffee and little treat.
