DISHING ON THIS DISH: Photo credit goes to the Cookie and Kate blog. I love this picture. This bread looks identical to the one I make with butternut squash but that blue pan – yum! I can’t get enough of that blue pan. If I ever get a hold of one I will get my own picture. Until then, I’ll borrow hers. Amazing photo!
For extra delicious flavor, grow your own butternut squash. I make all of my soups and breads using home-grown, organic, pumpkins and butternut squash. You can really taste the difference in home-grown over bought puree. You also get to enjoy all the roasted seeds.
