Bridgit brought home some a few days ago and we cooked a buttercup last night. I forgot how much I love squash. Properly prepared it is a wonderful comfort food. I usually prefer squash in the smashed form, but in cubes it is good as well.

Everyone loves butternut, but I think it is a little overrated. Buttercup is lesser known, but has wonderful nutty and smoky notes that make it great for blending into butternut.

And don't forget pumpkin! Pumpkin pie often gets a bad rap, but is one of my favorites.
