Last fall and winter, I unintentionally neglected my beloved winter squash. I'm not sure why. I just know that by the time spring rolled around, I realized I'd only cooked winter squash a handful of times throughout its peak season. And I don't believe in cooking with hard squashes or pumpkin in the warmer months. So, I've had to wait all spring and summer to get it right.
I'm starting my squash pledge with this tasty Butternut Squash and Macaroni Casserole from the Whole Foods iPhone app:
Delicate butternut meets whole wheat shells, coconut milk, toasted pecans, and breadcrumbs in this hearty casserole. The creaminess of the squash almost gives the dish a mac & cheese-y mouthfeel. It was perfect served with a side of my Granny's home-canned green beans. And since the recipe made 8 servings, I've got plenty of leftovers to last well through the weekend.

Oooh..that sounds really yummy! And looks really yummy :) I haven't gotten to any squash yet, but I have some acorn just waiting for me on the counter!

Aww such a great idea! Good luck, can't wait to see what delicious dishes you prepare.
With ingredients like that, I don't know that it would make even four servings for me! ;)
And if you find you're having a hard time eating enough squash, just eat vicariously through me :) :)

I'm earing up for squash season myself. There's a farm near here that does a ridiculous deal (a wheelbarrow full of squash for like 30 bucks) that my neighbors and I split. I'll try to post uses for them as I go. Maybe we can inspire eachother?
Squash and pasta, yum!
Squash + Macaroni = Love
Oh, yummers! :) My mouth's watering.
Do you have any tips on peeling/chopping hard winter squashes? I'm afraid I'm going to hurt myself one of these days...
Oh, I thought this was a familiar recipe until you got to "coconut milk." That takes it to a whole new level!
That looks so tasty! I love it. And I can't wait to see all your winter squash adventures.
now that's one glorious combination - squash 'n mac casserole & your granny's home-canned green beans. mmmmmmmm! hooray for winter squash yummies! i just roasted up some butternut squash for my dinner. i can't wait to see what you do with the kombucha - i've never had that one before. also, delicata = what i puffy heart the most!
Totally agree - I've taken the cooler weather as my cue to cook squash more often, and it just doesn't seem right in summer. The squash and pasta recipe looks great, and the app sounds cool - thanks for the tip!
butternut+coconut+pecans sounds like an awesome combo. I'm always looking for new squash ideas!
I don't have an iPhone :-( but I found the recipe here

Love it! This looks really fabulous... :9
Oh that looks wonderful. I am going to have to find this recipe.
yum! you should try my ambercup chili squash soup recipe - it seemed all southern to me. i totally thought of one of your recipes while i was chowing down!
Pumpkin and pasta is so good together. Winter squash makes winter bearable.
a great promise.
Is it on the Whole Foods webpage?! I need that casserole!
