Recipe: Butternut Squash Bowls
My friend gave me a medium-ish sized butternut squash from his garden and I wanted to use it for an easy, quick dinner. We love eating those stuffed spaghetti squash meals where you mix the ingredients and eat them using the squash as a bowl. Butternut squash has a different texture than spaghetti squash, with more of a mashed potato than a pasta consistency.
The results were delicious, so if you get your hands on a butternut squash, give it a try! We now have a gigantic one on our counter so I’d probably double the rest of the ingredients if I were using that bad boy and use it to feed a crowd. Maybe this would be a good potluck dish idea.
Don’t forget, if your garden is still producing a ton of tomatoes, you can make these great recipes submitted by six readers that I posted last summer. Recipes Using Garden Tomatoes Blog Post
Kelly Brakenhoff is the author of 15 books and a seasoned ASL interpreter. She splits her writing energy between two series: cozy mysteries set on a college campus and children’s books featuring Duke the Deaf Dog.
Parents, kids, and teachers love the children’s books and activity guides because they introduce ASL and the Deaf community through fun, engaging stories. And if you enjoy a smart female sleuth, want to learn more about Deaf culture, or have ever lived in a place where livestock outnumber people, the Cassandra Sato Mystery series will have you connecting the dots faster than a group project coming together the night before it’s due.
