All hail the butternut squash!


   Butternut squash is, hands down, my favorite vegetable of all time. And ‘tis the season to enjoy it in a variety of ways.
   I love it in soups, in ravioli, and as a side dish to grilled pork with a touch of butter, cinnamon and nutmeg on top. Little did I know you can add butternut squash to salads, homemade bread, and stuff them with sausage and wild rice for a fabulous fall entree.

   Butternut Squash with Wild Rice and Onion Stuffing
   Butternut Squash Bread
   Bon appetit!
