This simple, warm, delicious Butternut Squash dish is sure to become a staple at your holiday gatherings.
Ah, the holidays. A time to be surrounded by family and friends, enjoy tasty homemade food and revisit long-standing traditions. Thanksgiving and Christmas are my two favorite holidays. I love the coziness of the weather and the traditional dishes that have been in my family for generations. My family is truly blessed with many talented cooks. We take our holiday menus very seriously, so the menu planning always starts early! Thanksgiving, in particular, is my all time favorite – I could live off of roasted squash, sweet potatoes, vegetables, and pumpkin desserts! Who else is with me?
This recipe is SO simple, yet so delicious, warm and comforting. I like to toss a few sprigs of fresh thyme on top before serving to give it a little extra color.
