Jump Up And Down Mashed Carrots And Squash

• *1 bunch (~8) small carrots chopped into chunks
• *1/4-1/2 raw acorn squash cubed(depending on how strong you want the squash flavor)
• *juice from 1/2 lemon
• *1/2 tablespoon melted butter
• *1/4-1/2 cup goat cheese
• *1/4-1/2 cup vanilla soy milk

1. Steam carrots and squash in a pot until they can be pierced easliy with a fork, about 10 minutes. You will be mashing them, so you want them nice and soft.
2. Once steamed add them to a medium sized bowl and mash thoroughly with a fork.
3. Add lemon juice and butter to mixture and stir well, continuing to break up any chunks still in the bowl.
4. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of goat cheese according to your taste. I just take crumbled goat cheese and sprinkle it on top until the mixture is covered. Mash the goat cheese into the mixture until it's creamy.
5. Stir in 1/4 cup of the milk. Once stirred in thoroughly, taste. If you want it more creamy or thinner texture, add more milk to taste.
6. *Note: If you are a fan of blenders or food processors, you could also just toss all of the above into one and give it a whirl until smooth.
7. Variation: You might be able to add some fake chicken or vegetable stock to this and a little more of everything in the recipe and turn it into a soup. I haven't tried it, but I imagine it would be tasty.
