I started with my ingredients.

So we have been doing Hello Fresh (lmk if you need a new subscription deal) for a few weeks. I like it, more on that later. I didn’t make one of the recipes, so I pillaged some ingredients from that bag.

I had this beautiful acorn squash in my refrigerator, begging to be roasted.

I sautéed the onions, then added the mushrooms, then the garlic.

I added the sausage and stock concentrate and cooked it down. I added everything to the squash, et voila.

Roasted it for about 40 minutes.
