Linden's Butternut Squash Lasagna

Dude. Dude. Hold up.





Now I know I'm usually not one to toot my own horn, but today I'm going to go ahead and make an exception.

And I discovered that with the addition of cheese, not only does butternut squash become very attractive, it is also super delicious. I'm seriously not kidding, Chris said this was better than my full-of-italian-sausage lasagna.

Now, I'm not taking that seriously, because like Papa he tends to be overcome with thoughts of goodness, and inexpensive ingredients, so his

I did all the prep and assembly on Sunday afternoon, and then popped the whole thing into the fridge. Came home from work tonight, put it in the oven, and 40 minutes later a delicious cheesy dish of goodness! Like magic, or more accurately, foresight, hard work and planning.




It's really, really good. And it looks really good, perfect for autumn!

Grandma: Pumpkin cake!

Grandma made this:

Looking good, cake!
