It’s making life much less hectic in the Liddon household. Now that we’re getting into all kinds of holiday celebration meals, my goal is to share as many time-saving tricks with you as I can. Last week, I came up with a make-ahead version for one of my favourite side dishes: Roasted Butternut Squash with Pecan Parmesan and Kale! I’m so excited to share how I tweaked the original recipe to minimize day-of prep time. In recent posts, I shared Adriana’s Favourite 10-Minute Pasta, 8-Minute Pantry Dal, and Make-Ahead Thanksgiving Panzanella, to name a few. You may have noticed lately that I’ve been on a crusade to create as many time-saving recipes and make-ahead tips as I can. You know the saying…as far as anyone knows, we’re a nice, normal family.

Then: “Butternut squash is so much better than pumpkin.” (Lol…so random…I die.)Īdriana, three years old: “NO THANK YOUUUUUUU” (as she skips away with Arlo’s favourite toy in her grasp). (This dish makes all its other dinner companions give the side-eye, heh. Have you made it? Oh my, it’s a show-stealing side I tell ya. The other weekend I decided it had been way too long since I had made my beloved roasted butternut squash dish, complete with vegan parmesan…kale…and lots of garlic. That’s when it hit me: I should post this on the blog so I can go a bit more in-depth! So read on, my friends…. Did you even know that Instagram has a word limit? I guess it wasn’t designed for Chatty Cathy’s like me. As Stephanie Tanner would say: How rude, lol. I posted this story and make-ahead technique to my Instagram account recently, only to be cut off part-way through when I exceeded the word limit.
