So it’s no secret that I love squash. I know I have mentioned it a few times on the blog already but I don’t think I have posted any recipes with it yet! That must change. Starting now.

This recipe can be used as a side dish and is especially good with salmon or pork (in my personal opinion). Or if you are like me you can eat it plain right out of the bowl. Yep I do that.

Butternut Squash and Apple Puree

Squash is great on its own, but adding apples gives it the perfect amount of sweetness and I love to eat it straight.

While squash is cooking peel your apples and chop into small cubes
