My squash runneth over!

I had never tried butternut squash until a few years ago. I am now hooked and even convinced the Big Guy to plant one plant in the Carondelet Garden this summer.

As the long vines started to take over our yard, so did the number of baby squashes. The yield had better be fantastic since Big Guy is already starting to sound like Poe’s raven. NEVERMORE!

The harvest is just around the corner, and I am dreaming of cooler days and a bowl of butternut soup. I look forward to sharing what becomes of these squashes as I start to pull out my cookbooks in search of other ideas for delicious meals highlighting these beauties.
