Being the squash is in season now, they taste sweeter. This was a fun post to write as Halloween is right around the corner. Thank you for the complements about my blog. Till next time..Blessings, Dottie :) Dottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088546024012627842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-18686774917632258372013-10-21T14:33:57.892-04:002013-10-21T14:33:57.892-04:00I have never tried pumpkin with red onion.

I really like the one you mentioned called "Think Christmas". <br /><br />I love butternut squash even mashed like potatoes. It is so good for you. Your grandchildren have the right idea, they love it! I love all of the squashes, even turnips. They are fabulous. Yes, I think the sweet potato or yams would be delicious too. I have to try that.<br /><br />Looking forward to your new post...have a great week..<br /><br />Blessings, Dottie :) <br />Dottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088546024012627842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-67482903029673087792013-10-20T17:45:18.621-04:002013-10-20T17:45:18.621-04:00HI Nee,

I don't have the space to grow any fresh herbs, but when I was a young child my mom grew all of them. My job was to go outside and collect them when she needed them to cook with. The mint was a favorite as I would pick them your hands would have that mint smell. Was so much fun, and great memories!Have a great week as well!

The Witch's Brew is actually a booklet of perhaps, 80 or 90 pages. Another one of her books is titled Think Christmas. It too is filled with herbal lore and recipes. <br /><br />I've only recently been introduced to butternut squash. Actually by my grandchildren who love it! But, I think you're right this recipe would probably be great with sweet potatoes too. <br /><br />Thank you again, Dottie. You have a wonderful week also. I better get my butt moving now. I haven't yet posted today, lol...~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-28522533303353518352013-10-19T13:46:58.461-04:002013-10-19T13:46:58.461-04:00Hi Louise,

It is funny but we all use the same ingredients, there is no difference. <br /><br />This recipe is a good one. The flavors blend so perfectly together. Plus it is a different way to eat butternut squash. I bet you can do the same thing with sweet potatoes. Never tried that, but who knows. <br /><br />Wishing you a wonderful weekend and a fabulous week too! <br /><br />Blessings, Dottie :) Dottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088546024012627842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-19865592751249092682013-10-19T08:09:44.616-04:002013-10-19T08:09:44.616-04:00Hi Dottie!

The woman who owned it was named Adelma Simmons. Halloween was the best time to go and visit her Witch's Garden. I even have a book by her titled <i>A Witch's Brew</i> that I have shared on my blog. <br /><br />Your Butternut Squash recipe is a wonderful way to celebrate the season and of course all the herbs are sure to make it delicious!<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing, Dottie...wishing you a wonderful week. <i>Louise</i> ~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.com
