As we transition from summer to fall, we say goodbye (for now!) to our staple summer squash favorites and welcome their cold-weather counterparts with a few wonderful winter squash recipes. Don’t be fooled by the name – these vegetables are called winter squash because although they are harvested in the fall, they will keep for many months, extending into winter. With bright colors and plenty of nutrients, they’re sure to keep you satisfied throughout the colder season. We’ve put together some recipes featuring some of our favorite winter squashes.
