butternut squash

I have a new favorite vegetable to share with you
Butternut Squash
and it is so delicious
in the past I had been a little uncertain with the vegetable
never knowing how to get the delicate squash out of that that hard shell without completely butchering it
but I have always loved butternut squash soup, so I thought I would give it a try
just in the past two weeks, I have tried out two new recipes with it
adding it to pasta and stew and both times it turned out delicious
adds just a hint of sweetness and lots of squashy goodness (pun intended)
here are my favorite recipes I have tried so far
Butternut Squash Stew
tastes like curry and I added in some ground turkey for my husband
but either way I think it would be pretty filling
I loved the flavors of this and I am a sucker for anything with chickpeas in it
I will definitely make it again
the second recipe I made ( the squash was huge that I bought so it worked for two separate dinners) was this
Roasted Butternut Squash Baked Penne
tasted like macaroni and cheese, but healthier and more filling
enough said and I will definitely make this again as well
so there you have it, my new favorite

how about you? do you have any favorite vegetables you are loving right now? butternut squash perhaps?
