Happy Friday! I hope you are all doing ok. I know that this has been an emotional week for everyone and I wish I could just hand out hugs to anyone that needs one. So I will give you a virtual hug ((HUG)) and then feed you. Sound ok?
Ok, lets talk Thanksgiving! This is the last side dish I am sharing before the main event on Monday: the TURKEY!
These Roasted Delicata squash rounds are so tender and delicious- you do not even have to peel them because the skin is so soft. These are brushed with sesame oil, sprinkled with kosher salt and onion powder and then coated with a crispy layer of toasted sesame seeds that give the squash a great little crunch! This is so tasty and such an easy side dish that truly goes with anything.

I love squash, this recipe looks tasty!
Thanks Maria!
Hello Heather, from .Uruguay. You were kind enough to respond when I wasn’t receiving your blogs,…..and I just wanted to thank you, and say my respect for you has soared. I’ve been horrified, and disgusted at the number of bloggers who have dived into political comment on the result of the elections. It’s not acceptable to me. The USA is a democracy, and the people voted. Bad losers are not team players, nor are they people I want to know.
Let’s move on…tomorrow is another day. Again, thank you, j
Hi Jay, We are certainly privileged to live in this great country and that means accepting the results of democracy even when things don’t go the way you wanted them- this is what I am trying to teach my children. I hope that everyone will exhibit patience as some adjust and that we can come together as a nation peacefully. Much love and thank you for visiting this little space of mine 🙂
Beautiful squash & I love your printed dish too!
Thank you so much Marla- I had to borrow all the blue and white ceramics from my mom 🙂
