Update on our family: John has been in the hospital for a little over a week now. He got transferred out of ICU and is now in a regular hospital room. His neurosurgeon is hopeful that he will be transferred to rehab by the end of this week. He has made a ton of progress this week, but he does have a long road to go. I will keep you posted. Thanks to those of you who have contacted me asking how he is doing.
Herb Roasted Squash is a wonderful side dish for just about any entree. I served it with Beef Ragu with Ravioli. Both recipes were utterly mouthwatering. They sure made for one scrumptious week night meal back in May. The fact that this simple side dish can be prepared in about 20 to 25 minutes is a real plus for me. There are times when I just don’t have time for long, drawn out meals. This excellent squash recipe is perfect for those times.
I’ve been digging through old cookbooks during the down time from Corona Virus. I’ve made over ten recipes in recent days and plan on adding another ten or twenty before the country opens up again. We found the meal of Beef Ragu with Ravioli and Herb Roasted Squash irresistible. Not to mention that both recipes use only a handful of ingredients so they were quick and easy.
Herb Roasted Squash is a great side dish paired with just about anything. If you have an abundance of squash or tomatoes in your garden, this is a terrific way to use them up! Plus, it’s a way to get a high dose of vitamins in each serving. Enjoy.
