Butternut Squash Lasagna

Butternut Squash Lasagna -- a healthy "lasagna" made from layers of butternut squash! This dish was inspired by a recipe my sister-in-law sent me from her local newspaper. I made it nutritarian and vegan by leaving out the oil, salt, and cheese.

Butternut Squash Soup

From Lipstick & Granola: "Butternut squash soup! This is such a rich, creamy, and HEALTHY soup! You would never guess that it's just a pot of blended vegetables! It's totally vegan, and the only fat is a couple of tablespoons of olive oil to saute at the beginning. It was exactly what I needed to warm up on this typical upstate NY winter day. I have the recipe here!"

Butternut Squash Soup

Cadry writes, "This Butternut Squash Soup is from a recipe in The Vegan Table.This mouthwatering soup is creamy, delicious, and practically makes itself. It's packed with antioxidant powerhouses like squash, onions, garlic, and ginger. Best of all, it's the kind of warm comfort food that makes the end of summer worth it. You can find out more about it here."

Spaghetti Squash with Eggplant Marinara

From Kara, "I try to make "classic" dinners using fresh, whole ingredients. This is my gluten-free, vegan spaghetti: spaghetti squash topped with eggplant marinara and sauteed mushrooms with roasted asparagus on the side."

Butternut Squash Fries

Here is a submission from Christie Haigh at Haigh Happenings, who writes: "Here is one of my favorites- butternut squash fries. This is a healthy addition to any meal- low in calories and high in fiber. It is a source of all kinds of good things like vitamin C, manganese, magnesium, and potassium, and vitamin A. I like to bulk up my meal with these.

"Here is a picture after I cut it up, cut the skin off, and put it in the pan. I sprayed it with cooking spray, sprinkled cumin and kosher salt on it:

"The great thing is that 2 of my 3 kids also like to eat them. Aliah digging in:


"Violet with a whole fist full:

"Ricky is still dubious, he tried one today for I think the second time. That's progress- it only took me 7 years to get him to eat broccoli."

PIZZA WEEK: Butternut Squash Pizza

Bonniejean says, "Thinly sliced butternut squash, sage and walnut pizza on a wholegrain crust! (There is some gruyere cheese on it, but I'm sure it would be
just as delicious with the squash, sage and walnuts.) A spinach strawberry and balsamic vinegar salad to go with it. One of my favorite meals ever!"
