Winter squash screams comfort food, which is always a must when you’re snowed in! Luckily, you don’t have to feel any guilt while indulging in your favorite squash. Winter squash is bursting with nutrition from Vitamin A, antioxidants, and even healthy omega-3 fats! Its high fiber and low calorie content make it the perfect filler!
If you’re unsure how where to begin with after buying a winter squash, check out my instructions how to roast a squash here!

Which recipe will you try first?
YUM! I love squash but I’m not sure I realized you could eat the skin of a butternut…is that weird? Mmm, I have a butternut ready to go though so I’m going to have to figure out which to make first!
You can! Just give your intestines a warning : )
Mmmmmmm these all sound so good! I don’t eat squash nearly often enough. It’s amazing how many different kinds there are!
I want to try the squash/beef stew and the squash/cranberries/feta salad first 🙂
What a great roundup of squash recipes. I was a butternut squash hater for most of my life, but in the last few years it has really grown on me.
These all look and sound ah-mazing!! Deciding which to make first is tough!
I always forget about spaghetti squash- need to pick some up this week. Yum!
I have been a HUGE winter squash lover for the past five years and have tried so many varieties (thank you farmers market:)). My least favorite, ironically, is spaghetti squash, but my all time favorites are Kabocha (buttercup too) and Red Kuri. Must tries! In fact, last year at college, my roommates made fun of me when I had 6 different types of whole squash in the pantry (one of those was a 10 pounder but it wasn’t very good) Ha!
Definitely your spaghetti squash bolognese! It’s so simple and a perfect weeknight meal. But everything else is so, so tempting… I think I could eat squash 3 meals/day!
