ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH MAPLE GLAZE

Hello Loves...

it's a perfect October day....

 it's dark, cold and rainy...just the kind of day to

curl up with your favorite blanket, watch a

Turner Classic Movie, while something

delicious is roasting in the oven.

I have loved this arrangement for a few months now

and decided I just might display this year round....even

during those summer months, it will be a reminder

that fall will soon be coming......

Days in Autumn are just a gift aren't they?

Did you stop by Vee's blog and take in all the 

gorgeous fall color they currently have in Maine?

And, still more days to come with even more days

of autumn shades to enjoy.....

Have you tried this brand of Spiced Mocha?

I will tell you, it's delicious and perfect

for fall and winter months....I found this at WalMart!

Top it with a swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg.....

I love planning the Thanksgiving gathering....

happy thoughts!

I have read where some have started decorating for

Christmas already....not me...I savor every minute of this season.

So, here's what's on the menu for this October day......

Cut, peel and cube one butternut squash.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Place cubed pieces on baking sheet.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 30 minutes...I cover mine loosely with foil.
Remove from the oven, and drizzle with real Maple Syrup.
Continue baking , uncovered for five minutes.

I take one-half of the squash for this recipe and this will serve two.
For the other half of the squash, it is plenty to make a good
butternut squash soup!

I also baked a glorious batch of
Zucchini Spice Muffins...let me know if you would like
the recipe...these are divine!!!!
