Hello! Here comes how I used the other half of that butternut squash I mentioned in this post. This recipe came to me with a bit of inspiration- a friend had eaten a butternut squash ravioli out at dinner recently and it looked delicious, and it had a brown butter sage sauce that smelled heavenly. Now I’m good, but I’m nobody’s Nonna and I wasn’t feeling experimenting with creating ravioli. I wanted to get that deliciousness in, but in a not-so-fussy kind of way. For the hangry amongst us. So, as I like to do when I’m trying out purely experimental things and need to get an unbiased opinion, I invited my good friend Connor over for dinner. The guy is not afraid to tell me when I’m being a major jerk, so I feel pretty confident that he’ll tell me if my food tasted bad. As a result, he is…

This left me with two options: a. What can I eat from my meals I just made, even though that would mess up my schedule? b. What can I whip up from what I’ve got around? It really became a question at that point of how hangry I was. My hanger level was low and my nobody was home so it was safe to scrounge up my dinner. Thankfully, I had recently bought some ground beef (which is pretty rare for me!) and made it into taco/nacho meat and frozen it in servings, so I brought that out to thaw a bit while I figured myself out. The rest of this meal came from…
