Meatballs in Red Wine Sauce Ingredients:

 Instructions:

Roasted Butternut Squash Slices with Rosemary

Total time: 35 minutes
     Simple perfection.  Slices of butternut squash, dipped in olive oil, sprinkled with rosemary and a bit of salt and roasted until they start to get crispy and caramelized.

Roasted Butternut Squash Slices with Rosemary Ingredients:

 Instructions:

Note:  To clean butternut squash first peel it, using a potato/vegetable peeler.  If it's large (typically) cut it in half between the 'neck' and 'bowl' ends.  Then cut those in half the 'long' way.  Scoop the seeds out of the round end and discard.  I use the neck end for uniform pieces and the bowl end for soups and smaller pieces.
