Best Dinner Ever?

   I blog about my food mostly so that when I am hungry and without inspiration, I can search for one of my food tags and be reminded of dishes I've made before. This one may be the winner, though: roasted chicken (I cheated and bought rotisserie to save time), roasted acorn squash with homemade chili-lime vinaigrette, and spinach salad with fruit, goat cheese, and raspberry dressing. YUM. The chili-lime vinaigrette upstaged everything. It's so good I may have to put it on my cereal in the morning. Okay, maybe not. But it's really, REALLY good!

   And two hours after dinner, I had a craving and went to the kitchen for a little dessert... another plateful of squash! This is some seriously good stuff.

Home cookin'...

   I had bought & roasted a butternut squash last night that wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped, so I had to find a way to save it. (Who wants to toss 2 pounds of squash?!) So I stopped at the store for Arborio rice today & made a huge batch of butternut squash + bacon risotto. Heaven in a pan. 40 minutes of stirring was never so worthwhile!
