What grilling veggies is to the summertime, roasting them is to the fall and wintertime. Nothing tastes better than roast veggies and after you try this recipe, you will never eat butternut squash any other way!

What’s in Season!?
Fall is here and the leaves are falling, the air is brisk and we are almost getting ready to say good-bye to our flip-flops (hopefully, with this crazy Cali weather) and say hello to our lovely, cozy, warm Uggs! How much I have missed them!
