Sunday: Butternut Squash Risotto



Are you doing the ST one? If so, let me know how it works out for you. I found mine to be kind of bland, but I'm not sure if I didn't season the squash enough. I'd like to hear what you did differently!

Thanks...I'm far from a gourmand LOL But I love to eat! Oven baked tacos are so easy, just fill the taco shells with meat/cheese/fixings (except the lettuce) and then arrange them upright in a baking dish. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes and the tacos come out softened and you can eat them with a fork and knife.

I am, but I am using homemade stock and more squash than she calls for (1.5 cups instead of 1).

I find a LOT of her recipes to be very bland, and I credit that to her trying to accommodate her toddler. I just add extra seasoning. I'm going to skip the sage and use nutmeg instead for flavor, I know that will help.
