One of my favorite vegetables in the fall is a butternut squash. It is a very healthy carbohydrate that is low in calories and reach in essential nutrients such as vitamins A, C, E, B6, potassiun, and other nutrients like thiamin and riboflavin. Butternut squash has the slightly nutty flavor and delicately sweet overtone that can be a great addition to any meal. I like to make a creamy butternut squash soup when it gets cold outside This delicious meal will warm you up and satisfy your appetite. Plus, knowing that my body gets the best nutrients, it makes me feel even better.
