Butternut Squash Breakfast Bowl (aka Fall in a Bowl!).

So the arrival of cooler mornings has me craving cooler weather foods...or, in terms others can understand...PUMPKIN (duh...), root veggies, and, the star of this DELISH brekkie recipe: butternut squash. This simple creation started out as a "I really need to use that butternut squash in the fridge, so I'm gonna make breakfast out of it," thing...and quickly turned into a new fall breakfast fave. Hope you guys enjoy it too!
