Fall Flavors: Butternut Squash


This weekend we enjoyed some time in my husband's home state of Iowa. We had a great time at Nippy's wedding and even had time to check out one of Des Moines finest restaurants, Centro, with our friends Scott and Amber. One of my favorite fall flavors is butternut squash. I got to enjoy some delicious butternut squash ravioli in a sage butter...yum!!
