Crisp mornings and cool nights mean fall is totally here. Love it. In the kitchen, this means it’s comfort food time! Soups, stews, casseroles and slow cooker meals are now making their way onto my weekly menu. Hallelujah! This week, I was inspired to use squash after a phenomenal dinner at Yours Truly.
