Last Updated on June 13, 2021 by admin

Sometimes, the thought of what to make for lunch feels downright daunting. When the summer heat is appetite-suppressing and the motivation for bikini-wearing is strong, something light is in order!

This is the time that I like to to open the fridge, peruse the spice rack, and look on the counter to see what interesting things I can throw together to create something satisfying and unique.

Hence– the Butternut Squash Summer Medley was born!  The colors were rich.  The Italian dressing was flowing.  It was beautiful day.

Ahh, alas, summer is in the air!
