Sure, we give spaghetti squash lots o' love — but what about butternut? This just as savory-sweet squash has been seasonally (and unfairly) "shelved" to fall-holiday times. But, it's actually a pretty kick-ass option all season long (due to one solid shelf life). Plus, it's just as versatile as its other gourd cousins and arguably more sumptuous. So it's high time we bring butternut back to it's supreme squash status.
