It wasn’t until a few years ago that I actually appreciated the butternut squash.

Unlike his friends, Pumpkin and Spaghetti Squash, Butternut Squash has quite a nice, sweet taste… and is so versatile.

We were eating roasted butternut squash at my mother-in-law’s house this past week when I realized, “This could go in a stir fry!”

And so it did.

I decided that the Blue Dragon Honey Teriyaki Sauce was the perfect sauce to mix with the squash and peppers. The ginger and honey in the sauce was a perfect pair with the sweetness of the vegetables. The noodles are easy to cook (I boil water in my kettle and then pour it on top of the raw noodles in a bowl), and pair with any vegetables.

In fact, Mr. Suburble waited anxiously for me to finish taking these photos before he could dig in.

I asked him if it was missing anything, and the T-Rex in him responded, “Yeah… some meat.”

I’m not quite the carnivore he is, so I think that it stands alone as a nice lunch or dinner. But if you also have a hungry dinosaur at the table, you can add protein to this dish.

But in my humble opinion, I think that the addition of the squash adds enough body.

Tell me, are you a lover of squash?

What dishes do you add it to?
