I purchased this butternut squash, now what do I do with it? Below are some recipes that look interesting, but since I have no experience with this vegetable (other than pre-made butternut squash soup), I’m a little hesitant to try them. I’ll pick one and do a follow up with my results!
BUTTERNUT SQUASH BISQUE
Ok, this seems easy enough, and it is soup season in Southeastern PA!
BAKED BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRIES
I do love a sweet potato fry, I wonder if it tastes similar?
BUTTERNUT SQUASH FALAFEL
This sounds awesome! It may be too adventurous for me at the moment, but it is definitely a contender.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH CAKES
Yessum, these looks ridiculous.
I’m not quite sure what I am going to do with it yet. Most likely try the bisque, that way I can mess up and just puree the sucker and no one will know the difference. I hope.
Happy Friday!

Hey Lauri!
I make a really good butternut squash pasta!! It’s on my food board on pinterest! Give it a try! We loved it!

Hi Aunt Kath! I’ll have to look that one up. Will only 1 squash work or do I need more?
If you’ve never cooked butternut squash before, make it easy. Slice in half long ways, scoop out seeds, put a little butter/salt/pepper in the hollow, and bake.
Thanks Jenn!! We’re doing home made cheesesteaks tonight for dinner and I may try the fries recipe. I’ll let you know how they turn out!
Stuff that sucker with beef and roast it?
Hmmm, maybe next time. We do a good stuffed zucchini – I wonder if that recipe would transfer well to the squash? Thanks for reading!!
