LOCAL FEATURED RECIPES

The butternut squash is a hybrid from the 1940’s prized for its soft texture, and the ease in which it grows. This beautifully orange gourd is a perennial favourite for autumnal soup or baked as a side-dish. This fall, explore the versatility of the Butternut Squash by allowing it to take center stage on your dinner plate! The inspiration for the accompanying recipes comes from my desire to take the idea of pumpkin spice, and throw in a little bit of playfulness to allow for the reimagining of the sometimes maligned autumnal trend, so it may be transformed into something we can enjoy outside the confines of the tooth- achingly sweet cookie or latte. Nutritionally speaking, this winter squash contains good levels of Vitamin A, E, and C, good amounts of folate, thiamin & niacin, and butternut squash packs more potassium than that of a banana.
