Squash is Good for Something other than Baby Food...

Bacon & Butternut Squash Pasta

When I was a kid, up until last year, I hated any kind of squash due to the mushy consistency.  Now, I've found some great recipes that have helped me acquire a taste for squash, butternut to be specific.  Butternut squash ravioli with brown butter sauce is great as well as this new pasta dish I found. Bacon, roasted squash, kale, and a creamy sauce pair nicely in this hearty but healthy dish! Be sure you have enough time though, preferably a nice Sunday dinner. I tried it on a weeknight and we weren't eating until 8 at night. Also, be careful cutting the butternut squash, it's extremely tough and hard to cut through.

My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
