Fall-ing for Fall Foods & Festivities
My favorite color is fall. If that’s cheating, then lock me away in a forest filled with leaves of every color and a year’s supply of squash, apples and pumpkin everything. As much as I love summer, there’s nothing like crispy, cool fall weather to get you in the mood for all the comfort foods. While the leaves haven’t hit their peak yet in Chicago, this squash is definitely picking up the slack with vibrant hues of greens, oranges and heaven-sent gold. Whether a special occasion or just a dinner in, this recipe isn’t nearly as complicated it looks and is sure to impress!
