54 of the Best Recipes Using Butternut Squash

Autumn has so much to offer when it comes to delicious food. One of my top favs is totally Butternut Squash. This vegetable is all creamy and buttery on its own, it pretty much just melts in your mouth. There's already a rumble in my tummy, I'm feeling hungry right now.  Giving in to my obsession, I couldn't help but gather up a slew of yummy recipes for us both to enjoy throughout the season. Friends don't let friends eat boring foods.

Nom nom. Butternut Squash is THE MAN. Here are endless recipes to try.

You're gonna want to try a few (or all!) of these recipes, so here are a few tips for picking the perfect squash that I learned from my mom. Pick out a mature squash and give the outside a tap, it should sound like you are tapping on a piece of wood. The squash should feel heavy in your hand. The stem should be thick and firmly attached. Now all you need to do is decide what recipe you're in the mood for & ENJOY! Nom.
