4. Butternut Squash Lasagna
I’ve always loved spinach lasagna. Adding butternut squash to a lasagna is quite the twist. Maybe the Italians can make this during Thanksgiving rather than the regular lasagna. I’d be a little more open to taking a piece on the famed TURKEY day.

1. Ground Beef & Butternut Squash Breakfast Skillet
Breakfast is my favorite meal. Fall is my favorite season. Hence my addiction to things like pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin spice coffee. But there’s only so much pumpkin to go around. Butternut squash soup can take a back seat—bring on breakfast for dinner.
