The Baking Bloggers are celebrating Pumpin or Butternut Squash today.......

Every second Monday of the month, a group of likeminded bloggers join our friend Sue of Palatable Pastime in baking up a dish based on a theme or ingredient.  This month's theme is Pumpkin/Butternut Squash.  Let's see what everyone baked up:

• Black Bean and Butternut Squash Enchilada Casserole from A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Butternut Squash Cheesecake from Karen's Kitchen Stories
• Crystallized Ginger Pumpkin Gingerbread Cookies from Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck Survive Despite a Whiskered Accomplice
• Maple-Kissed Autumn Squash Tart from Culinary Adventures with Camilla
• Mock Pumpkin Cheesecake from Sid's Sea Palm Cooking
• Pumpkin Cornbread from Making Miracles
• Pumpkin Spice Biscotti from Tara's Multicultural Table
• Quick Pumpkin Bread from Sneha's Recipe
• Roasted Butternut Bacon Feta Risotto from Food Lust People Love
• Sourdough Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins from Hezzi-D's Books and Cooks
• Sweet and Savory Roasted Butternut Squash from Palatable Pastime
• Tikvenik - Bulgarian Pumpkin Pastry from Pandemonium Noshery

I was happy for this theme because my kitchen counter is filled with squash of every shape and size.  I have been roasting up butternut squash nearly every morning.  I add it to our salads, plate it as a side dish and/or just snack on it throughout the day.

For today's recipe, I tossed the roasted squash with other vegetables and made a Marvelous Meatless Mexican Monday Meal.   Try saying that 5 times quickly!!

And while it may not be the most beautiful of dinners, it was the Teen's favorite meal last week.  The recipe serves 8 so we put together some Margaritas, virgins for the Teen and her guy, and invited her Aunt and Uncle to join us for dinner.  We all ate our fill and then the Teen enjoyed leftovers for lunch on the next two days.
