Sweet Butternut Squash

Goodness. I know I've been MIA lately. I'm truly sorry for that! Now, things should be back on track and I will be posting back in my normal schedule for you guys. We've had a lot going on around our house lately that has kept Jacob and I very busy and exhausted. Some of which I'll be posting about soon!

I love butternut squash. It reminds me a lot of sweet potatoes and I love that it can be made into a sweet or savory dish. This is one of my favorite side dishes to make. I pair it up with chicken breast a lot. I'll be posting my Grilled Chicken Breast recipe soon for you also. They definitely go great together. I cut up my squash a certain way that is easiest for me, but feel free to do whatever is easiest for you.

This is so simple and easy to make and majority of the cooking time is just getting the butternut squash softened.

Sweet Butternut Squash

Servings: 2

• 1 butternut squash
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 2 Tbsp cinnamon
• 1 Tbsp nutmeg

Take the butternut squash and cut the bulb part away from the long part. Then, cut the long part and the bulb part in half. Scoop out any of the seeds and as much of the stringy texture as possible. Peel the skin off of the squash with a vegetable peeler and cut the squash into 1 inch cubes.

In a sauce pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the squash. Stir and get the squash completely covered in butter. Cover and saute for about 15-20 minutes until the squash begins to soften. Uncover and sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and enjoy!
