I’ll be honest: for the longest time, I just didn’t get the hype around butternut squash. Every autumn, social media would erupt with gorgeous photos of spiced lattes and roasted squash, and I simply nodded along, never quite convinced. If you’re anything like the old me, you might think of squash as slightly bland or just too much effort.

But right now, mid-autumn, is truly the best time to enjoy squash. It’s sweet, nutty, and affordable. A few years ago, when I first started this blog, I made a commitment to experiment with ingredients I usually overlooked. Butternut squash was high on that list. What started as a small challenge quickly turned into a delicious obsession, and I ended up creating a whole bunch of recipes celebrating its incredible versatility!

@natliciousfood I don't like butternut squash in many ways, but then you add it to mac or do a lasagna or even ravioli, maybe put in some sage and cranberry - then it's not bad.

It's about finding where it's at. I just still don't like eating it straight, but even that is changing - juice of it is nice, and well there's puree that I'm willing to look into.

If there's butternut squash pie - I'll look into it.

I think it's not desirable because it's a hybridized crop that developed relatively recently.
