We love having this on a windy PNW evening to feel warm and cozy from the inside out!
Pairing roasted squash with delightful toppings like goat cheese and dried cranberries, it hits all the right notes of hearty, healthy, and a little bit sweet. It’s drizzled with a Hibiscus & Orange Shrub vinaigrette, too, for an added boost of digestive goodness.
