Author Notes
My local market often has labor-saving packages of pre-cut vegetables for sale, and though I usually have no problem chopping vegies at home, I like to indulge myself when I see an especially pretty package! Kroger had several packages of beautiful golden-orange butternut squash already cut in cubes--this is the first recipe that came out of that bounty! I served it with my Cajun-Spiced Stuffed Golden Peppers and Herb-Roasted Onion Stuffed Potatoes, and all these recipes can be found here in my Recipes--these 3 dishes make a gorgeous, colorful and healthy meal when served together! —BeijingRose
