Caroline’s Cooking Corner: Squash
Squash is a sweet sport and an even sweeter food. It is orange, soft, healthy, tastes like candy and is so easy to cook. I love roasting butternut squash with carrots and sweet potatoes and then mixing them in with some basmati rice. These vegetables also taste great with chicken or pork. Sometimes I like eating them for breakfast with toast or eggs! I did not put down any specific amounts for the vegetables, since you can roast a bunch at one time and then just store them in the refrigerator for later.
