Butternut squash is one of the most nutritious and healthiest vegetables you can eat, with a rich array of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants as well as significant amounts of digestive fiber.
It not only tastes great, it is also low in calories, yet surprisingly filling. Many people would do well to replace fattening potato products with the far healthier and nutritionally superior butternut squash. Find out more here

Sounds like a great recipe, I love the squash but the bacon does not sit well for me. Thanks for sharing, enjoy your day!
Hi Eileen and thanks for your comment. Many people do have aversions / allergies etc. with certain foods - perhaps just enjoy this recipe minus the bacon. Beef and Squash sounds good to me ...
Have a happy day
All the best Jan
Love all these ingredients, will try this recipe out soon.

Hi Nona, and many thanks for your comment. Enjoy this dish when you do get around to cooking it ... it's a colourful and tasty dish.
All the best Jan
Minus the cow and pig, and I'm there. Yum.
Hi Ivy ... yes the mushrooms and the herbs (plus some red pepper perhaps) would be 'yum'.
Happy Friday - well it will soon be here!
All the best Jan
I would happily eat the cow and pig if they didn't hurt my tummy right now. But there is this one brand of bacon that I can eat without a problem. Maybe I can try that.
Thanks!
Hi Ivy - perhaps try that brand, see how you feel.
Take Care my blogging friend, sending good thoughts your way.
All the best Jan
