I went to Michael’s yesterday to get a few things for my Halloween decorating project and almost EVERYTHING Halloween related was reduced in price. The aisles were quickly being cleared of Halloween decor to make room for the bright colored greens and reds of Christmas. I wanted to scream WAAAAAAIT. Wait just a minute! Am I seriously behind on this Halloween decoration thing??! (don’t answer that). I just don’t think I’m ready to get in the head space of Christmas yet. I haven’t even thought about what I am going to make for Thanksgiving this year!
When you wake up to a cold crisp morning don’t you just want to put on a scarf and roast something? Here’s your chance! Butternut squash gets roasted with a bit of brown sugar in this recipe. Your house will smell terrific & autumn like. Garlic rubbed toasted bread gets accessorized with a nice dab of lemon scented ricotta. Cubes of roasted butternut squash are topped on the ricotta and finished off with fresh lemon juice & fried sage leaves. I think I just figured out what we’re making as a Thanksgiving appetizer. It’s definitely fall, not winter. Someone tell Michael’s.
