Roasted butternut squash with cranberries is the perfect holiday side dish recipe! It is loaded with tangy crannies and sweet squash.
While it seems like we went from Halloween to Christmas at the stores (including songs-ugh), in between, there is the best eating holiday of the year - Thanksgiving! Right? It is actually one of my favorites.
We have our family tried and true recipes, but I'm always on the lookout for some new ones to try! So I think today you are really going to enjoy this post. Not only are you going to have access to 25 delicious recipes for your Thanksgiving table, but each chef is hosting a giveaway on their blog. Trust me when I say, you will love these recipes.
We have you covered for breakfast, appetizers, side dishes, dessert and even a main course turkey recipe. So get ready to browse what you might want on your table!
I'm bringing my easy side dish recipe for Roasted Butternut Squash with Cranberries - it's sweet, savory and on the lighter side.
Up until a few years ago, I always hosted Thanksgiving dinner. I really never minded making all the dishes since it was just our immediate family. Now our older daughter and her husband have taken over and I have to say, I love just showing up with a couple dishes.
They always put on a great spread and hope they'll like this new dish I created!
I hope you'll enjoy the roasted butternut squash with cranberries recipe, too!

Love my stuffing! First time I made,was.35years ago! Still will grab 4-5recipes,(never the same ones), and every year turns out different! The magic is the fact that every year it is FANTASTIC! Will not eat anyone else's. Must add, 1year was extremely ill following a stint in an icu, so the hubs did (GASP) the unthinkable.TAKEOUT from the grocery store Thanksgiving fixins! Bless his heart, but... Doctored up/re-made the stuffing. Took me as long as from scratch to fix that bland stuffing!
