The big day is officially here. No I’m not celebrating a birthday (but if I was it would be my 21st of course) nor am I reveling in the fact that I single handedly made it through that Panettone cheesecake with only the slightest help from my children (God help my waistline). None of that can compare to the simple fact that, as of this afternoon I’m published over at MSN and Delish’s Kitchen Cookoff!
I hope you’ll head over and check out part one of a ten part, once a month, series and show me a little love. I’ll be dropping the recipe below, but for the full post with associated jibber jabber, you’ll need to fly on over to the cookoff site where I’ll be officially introducing myself and sharing a few things that you may or may not already know. I hope to see you there!
For the dish you’ll want to start out by peeling and slicing up a butternut squash. This is easiest if you slice off about a quarter inch at the top and the bottom of your squash before beginning to give yourself a flat surface to rest the squash on. Once peeled, cut the squash in half the long way, scoop out the seeds and proceed to chop each half.
Cube a couple russet potatoes and place them into a gallon sized ziplock bag along side the squash. Drizzle in a little olive oil, along with some garlic, green onion, curry, garam masala, salt and pepper. Shake the bag up a few times to get everything good and coated and then spread them out on a large lipped cookie sheet.
Slide into the oven and roast for a good twenty five minutes. While you’re waiting (rather impatiently if you’re anything like me), grab up a few dollops of sour cream, a squeeze of lime, a smattering of fresh cilantro greens, a bit more curry and a couple shakes of salt. Create yourself a seriously scrumptious sauce and wait for the timer to let out a whoop that dinner is served.
Scoop up a few hearty spoonfuls of the cooked squash and potatoes, drizzle a little (or a lot) of the sauce over the top and stab your fork into a truly Kitchen Cookoff worthy side.
Be sure to join me next month, same time same site for another taste pleasing family inspired recipe over at the Kitchen Cookoff!

Butternut squash is one of my favorite fiber-rich foods, yet I’ve never paired it with curry before. It sounds pretty amazing though and I might just have to give it a try. Congrats on your feature – how exciting!

Love the combination of curry and squash in this recipe. Not a big cilantro-fan (understatement), so I’ll just skip that part;) It looks lovely!
Not sure how I missed this back in December but I love this recipe! I have squash in the fridge right now so I’m going to try this…
