Travel & Inspirations

In both business and personal life, I've always found that travel inspires me more than anything else I do. Evidence of the languages, cultures, scenery, food, and design sensibilities that I discover all over the world can be found in every piece of my jewelry.

Here are some of my favorite destinations, where I return again and again for relaxation and motivation:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

In the spirit of the holiday, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite recipes, Butternut Squash Soup.  This dish is filled with sweetness, a wonderful aroma, and vibrant colors that are perfect for the dinner table.  Enjoy the dish and all the celebrations it brings with it.


1 medium onion, minced
2 pounds prepared peeled, cubed butternut squash
6 cups water
1 canned coconut milk
1/2 cup white wine
2 garlic cloves chopped or 2 frozen crushed garlic cubes
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger or 1 teaspoon of ginger powder
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon Kosher salt

Place all ingredients in a 6 quart stockpot, cover and bring to boil.  Reduce to simmer and cook covered for 30 to 40 minutes until squash is soft.  Use a potato masher or fork to mash the squash and continue to cook for 10 minutes

Ladle in bowls and serve.

****I also likes to either sprinkle spicy roasted pumpkin seeds on top or serve on the side.****

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
