Squash!
Growing up I hated squash in all of its forms. Summer squash or winter, it didn't matter. The stuff was gross.
Over the last few years I came up with some ways to prepare summer squash that I like, but I hadn't found anything good to do with winter squash.
Until last night.
Tom chopped a butternut squash in half for me. I cleaned out the seeds and pulp, then cut it into slices about an inch wide, peeled the slices, and cut them into bite-sized pieces. They went into a pan. I drizzled 2 TBSP of olive oil over them, sprinkled on salt, pepper, 2 tsp of dry rosemary, some garlic powder and then stirred until everything seemed evenly distributed. I then baked them for a little over an hour at 350.
OMG, so good.
I served it with meatloaf and bread for a very satisfying winter supper.
