I'm just trying to give you dear readers a complex, here's a dish that would be perfect for thanksgiving :-P Long long ago I had seen this recipe for Butternut Squash and Spinach. Well, I must've been channeling this when I made dinner tonight. As I had roasted the squash already and it was sitting in the fridge calling my name, this took literally 15min--tops to throw together. Without further ado, I give you...
and just some guidelines... as I didn't measure anything, and you should feel free to adjust it to your tastes (more spinach or more squash or more craisins...)
Saute 1/2 chopped onion until tender, then toss in roasted squash (any kind of squash would do, as would sweet potato; I roasted 425deg for ~25min) and loads of spinach. Cover and let cook a bit. Stir, and add more spinach if desired (it does wilt down a ton, so I added more once the first batch was done). Add handful of dried cranberries and season with s/p and some freshly grated nutmeg (optional). Cover and cook until all spinach is wilted and squash warmed through. Serve!
And one last picture, of a smiling Spinach-Asiago Chicken Sausage (another awesome Sam's purchase). See, even he liked the squash and spinach :)

I'd eat that dish ANYTIME - not just on Thanksgiving!! :0)
I have yet to try acorn squash, but I think this is one to last a whole season!
I like the combo, never would have thought to do it myself though. Perhaps an acorn squash puree with cranberries in it and baked would be good too.... Great idea.
I think it looks very appetizing! What a wonderful combo of flavors!
ohh you couldhave thrown some apples in there for the blogger secret ingredient recipe!
I love all of the fall dishes you've been throwing out! You're the best, thank you!
Christie: that would've been a good idea!! oh well... my apple post is coming tomorrow :)
This looks sooooo good. I am going to lobby to get it on the Thanksgiving menu. My mom is a traditionalist though, but I'll try. :)
Great dish, I absolutely love squash! I can't believe it's that time of year already. Yeah you're giving me a Thanksgiving complex... but I'm sure there are worse things :)
SAMS?

I LOVE acorn squash. This really looks fantastic!
I love acorn squash and you added dried cranberries? LOVE IT!
That dish looks amazing! I don't think I'll wait for Thanksgiving, though...
And I love the Sam's chicken sausages, too :)
