Sampler: October Squash Recipes

I’m not used to writing a post on recipes, but I love squash season. Here’s a few that I’m planning to try; don’t they look fabulous?

As usual, Macheesmo makes everything look so easy and so tasty — see “Spaghetti Squash with Cream Sauce and Mushrooms.”

Kalyn’s Kitchen creates “Garlic Lover’s Vegetable Stirfry with Eggplant, Zucchini, and Yellow Squash” in a distinctively Asian tone.

Here’s a take on a seasonal favorite,  butternut squash risotto, from GoodLife{eats}. [via This Week for Dinner]. For something else delicious, see the post for “Apple Cider Roasted Squash.”

For  a dish that’s quick, easy, and comforting, dig into baked acorn squash from In Good Taste. I’m thinking about incorporating this one into Thanksgiving.

Baking delights gets widely creative and whips up “Pumpkin Gnocchi with Smoky Chipotle Sauce.”

Lastly, I have to say, I always love the Crockpot Lady for constantly discovering convenient recipes. Here’s an Autumn dish  from last year: slow-cooked butternut squash soup with apples.
