Spiced Butternut Squash Soup

Follow this link for a yummy fall recipe for Butternut Squash Soup. My alterations are as follows: One large can and one 16 oz can of broth; I add about 1/2 cup brown sugar and I double the spices except for the cayenne. I also added some thyme. I top it with croutons and let them get a little soggy on the bottom for a minute before eating.

Tikka Masala

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chicken-Tikka-Masala/Detail.aspx

The adjustments I made to this are as follows:
I cook carrots, mushrooms, maybe peppers while the chicken is marinating.
After marinating, just cook the chicken in the marinade then add the veggies in with the chicken then add the creamy tomato sauce. And don't add NEARLY the amount of salt or cayenne it calls for. I also substitute one tsp garam masala for one tsp of the cinnamon.
