***Edited to add*** My mother reminded me that adding a granny smith apple to this recipe makes it fantastic. I usually do this but forgot this time. Also, thank you to Jenny Lynn for directing me to Williams-Sonoma for the butternut squash recipe jackpot. If you like this squash, chances are very good you will enjoy these recipes. I can’t wait to try out the Butternut Squash Risotto.

Last Thanksgiving I made butternut squash casserole and it was FABULOUS! I got the recipe from Williams Sonoma. I think it's on their website 🙂
