I know you probably already have your Thanksgiving menus planned, but just in case you’re looking for a super delicious and easy side dish to add to the mix- well I’ve got just the one for you! Roasted red kuri squash is just so damn good, but top it with tart dried cherries that’ve been sautéed in butter with rosemary and then mixed with pecans- you’ve got heaven on a plate. Seriously. And it probably takes less time to make than mashed potatoes. Just one more day until the biggest collective binge of the year! I cannot wait!! xx- Sarah
