ANY winter squash is delectable roasted. On this particular occasion, I had some leftover pumpkin, to which I added some buttercup squash.
I adore all of these ingredients by themselves, so I had little doubt I would love the combination. Turns out, it’s just as fantastic as I imagined! A few notes on things I would do different next time around: 1. Add more filler. I think I may add more finely shredded cheese next time. I [...]

I have a GARGANTUAN sweet tooth. It was a big contributor to my previously obese state. It turns out that as you lose weight, that sweet tooth is not shed with the pounds.
