Cheesy Baked Butternut Squash – Chunks of butternut squash tossed with parmesan cheese and white cheddar, together with a sprinkle of a delicious and garlicky crumb mixture.
AND 14 Thanksgiving Sides to add to your Thanksgiving Menu!
Hi, Friends! Happiest of Sundays!! Did you turn back the clocks?
True story. This one time I forgot to change the time and because of that, I was the first one to arrive at Church. I drove over an hour to get to Church only to find an empty parking lot and closed Church doors. For about 15 minutes, I was just standing there trying to convince myself that it was Sunday. I started tracking back, trying to figure out that the night before was Saturday, and that on Friday was the last day of class… I kept going back all the way to the beginning of the week. I really thought I was losing IT. Finally, the maintenance guy showed up and LOL’ed at me.
In other news? Gobble Gobble! Almost!!Â
Last year ANDÂ the year before I posted roundups for Thanksgiving, like, on the day OF, or the day before… However, some people did not like that. I heard about it from a few of my lovely readers and for that reason I am going to start our Thanksgiving Roundup(S) today! HIGH FIVE!!
Honestly? I just want to drool over Brussels Sprouts and ‘Taters. AND Butternut Squash laced with lotsa cheese.
If you are looking for the perfect side dish to add to your Thanksgiving Feast, look no further – this is your list. Just hit print!

These sides all look amazing, but I love the ones featuring the butternut squash. My parents always pawn so many off on me since they grow it in their garden that I have to find new ways to prepare it.
I love it when the time changes in the fall because I get to sleep that one extra hour. The spring change is not my friend and we fight every year 😉
Sylvie | Gourmande in the Kitchen says
What a mouthwatering collection of sides!
Laura (Tutti Dolci) says
Hahah you are too funny! I enjoyed my extra hour of sleep but I know I will be missing that hour of daylight….
I love butternut squash, but then you turned it into cheesy baked goodness, which I love even more!

When I was in school, I was always so paranoid that the time change was a big joke on me and I’d be the only idiot to show up to school an hour early. Thank goodness pretty much everything except my oven changes the time automatically for me now!
This looks so delicious! I’ve got a butternut squash in my pantry right now that may turn into this!
