I just ate this for lunch and as a side with dinner four days in a row….yes four! It’s that good! Well, that and I seem to be the only one who will eat butternut squash at the moment – and butternut squash are big. I’m not sure why but my LO loves it one night and won’t touch it the next. I’m pretty sure it’s common at his age. Anyways, we’re heading out to Florida in a week (super excited) so I’m trying to use up what we have in the house instead of grocery shopping, think butternut squash, romaine lettuce, arugula, the last cucumber and red pepper from the farm stand. I also had a ton of stuff I needed to get out of the garden before we leave, including multiple types of beets (I need to pull up the majority of the carrots too but that’s for another day).
