    Roasted Butternut Squash Sandwiches with Balsamic White Bean Spread

    Know the difference between winter squash and summer squash? Well, there's lots of them really, but winter squash tends to keep for a while. I've decided this is a really good thing, because I'm a big time squash impulse buyer. When I see a pretty squash, I buy it. Worst case scenario: it takes a few weeks for me to do something with it, and in the interim it looks really cute sitting on my kitchen counter.

    So, more butternut. Fortunately, there's little that you can't do with butternut. I plan to try it all. Since November is approaching I've got lots of holiday side dishes lined up in the coming weeks. In other words, things are about to get fancy! So today I'm going casual, or even sloppy, if you load your sandwich up with enough squash and spread. If you want your sandwich to be a little less sloppy than mine, toast your bread. Wish I would've though of that before assembling and photographing.
