It’s hard to believe that September has almost come and gone! As the weather starts to cool, I like to start pulling out some of my favorite fall recipes. There are some great foods available this time of year, and today’s recipe combines two of my fall favorites: apples and squash!
This recipe is low in fat and is a great source of fiber and potassium. In fact, one serving provides you with about 33% of your daily fiber and potassium needs! And it doesn’t hurt that it tastes great and goes with almost anything. I personally love to serve this side dish with baked pork chops.
Give this recipe and try and let me know what you think!
