earlier this week i had some of the girls over to accomplish task #2 on my weekly to-do list. i began looking for recipes that reminded me of autumn. i knew i wanted to use vegetables that were in season, hence the butternut squash, and i wanted to use earthy flavors like thyme and rosemary. the meal turned out wonderful and the girls were pleasantly stuffed. i pretty much followed the recipes exactly, except i also stuffed the chicken with rosemary and i substituted bacon for pancetta in the risotto. i also didn't have a popover pan so i used a mini muffin pan instead. hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
here's the menu:
lemon and garlic roasted chicken
butternut squash risotto with bacon and jack cheese
thyme popovers
