So.
I currently have four squashes sitting on my counter. Squashes? Squashs? Squashes’? I’m not sure which is correct, but I definitely have way too much squash — especially for someone who doesn’t exactly adore it, but certainly likes it.
I will probably share a bunch of squash recipes this week (yes, just this week!), but for now I remembered a set of fall recipes I posted last year. I love creating new recipes, but that also means some great dishes get forgotten.
So, while I’m up to my ears in squash, here are my favorites from last season. By “favorites” I mean recipes I made last year and loved — then promptly neglected. Time to bring them back into rotation.
1. Autumn Mac and Cheese
2. Vanilla Bourbon Baked Squash
3. Easy Whipped Sweet Potatoes
4. Chocolate Fudge Pomegranate Cookies
5. Pumpkin Pie Quinoa Parfaits
6. Quick Cinnamon Maple Applesauce
7. Warm Autumn Salad
8. Moroccan Vegetable Stew
9. Healthier Pumpkin Cupcakes
10. Butternut Squash Salsa
11. Caramelized Autumn Fruit Stuffing Cups
12. Roasted Cinnamon Pear Bruschetta
Quick story: one Friday I spent a morning preparing what I thought was the perfect batch of mac and cheese for Mr. How Sweet — buttery breadcrumbs, freshly grated Parmesan, the sort of crisp topping that bakes up beautifully. I came home that evening to find half the dish already gone, eaten straight from the pan — unbaked — and heated in the microwave.
No?
Good. Neither do I.
