Roasted Butternut Squash and Potatoes

 A touch of thyme and a dash of salt & pepper is all it takes to make this Roasted Butternut Squash and Potatoes dish pop with flavor.

I have been in quite the dinner ‘rut’ lately. I didn’t have a lot of time to cook while I had my part-time job {thank goodness that’s over!} and now I’m finding it hard to get back into the swing of things when it comes to family meals.

We tend to eat a lot of pasta and high-carb white foods, so I’m trying to get away from that. While squash has plenty of carbs of it’s own, it’s also got great nutritional value, like being low fat, high in vitamin A and good amounts of vitamin C and potassium. Not to mention the gorgeous color!

The big plus for me is that I don’t have to fight with the family to eat it. Roasted butternut squash tastes a lot like potatoes, only better. I love the nutty flavor it has.

Delicious and super easy to prepare, I’m sure I’ll be putting this on the table again soon.
