Not your average Butternut

Hello friends. Here in California, we like to think that we have seasons just like the rest of the country. It's not true, but we enjoy our dreams. With November in full swing and Thanksgiving a mere stone's throw away, it's time to start prepping our innards for the onslaught of starches and festive holiday foods. We may not have snow and colorful foliage, but we can cook with the best of them.

And what's better than a delicious twist on a classic? Not a whole lot.
