    My husband is not a fan of butternut squash but he tried this chili and really enjoyed it. He even asked me to make more so I'd say it's a hit! I enjoy it as well - always looking for new vegetarian recipes.

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
