Tzatziki sauce
Tzatziki sauce is awesome. If anyone knows how to properly pronounce it, I’d love to be enlightened. I just usually call it yogurt sauce. Hubby knows what I’m talking about when I say that. This sauce goes with a variety of things and you can even just dip veggies in it.
Dill is probably my second favorite herb behind Cilantro. I have a somewhat obsessive love with cilantro. But dill isn’t as versatile in my mind, so we rarely have it in the house. Some day I’ll have an herb garden. First I have to learn how to get our cats (well actually it’s just Nemo) not to eat any plant that is in the house. But I digress. So I love dill and put a lot in this sauce. Feel free to put however much you like.

I have been loving Butternut Squash more than ever this season, myself! Your pictures are lovely, and making me hungry!
I LOVE butternut squash… especially when roasted until slightly crisp on the outside. Your caramelized version looks great – I will need to add a touch of brown sugar and butter next time I make it.
YUM!!! I started my butternut squash kick this weekend- this looks amazing!
I have a butternut squash from my CSA that I’m dying to cut into. I have a question though, how does one peel a butternut squash?
Melissa – I like to use a Y-shaped vegetable peeler to peel the skin off. You could do it with a knife, but I would be worried about cutting myself.
Sounds like a fabulous way to prepare those squash. I’ll have to remember this for if we have another bumper crop next year!
Hi Jen, nice seeing you again yesterday. I usually roast my butternut squash with brown sugar too but I can’t believe I never thought of adding butter! I usually omit the salt and pepper because I like it very dessert-like, so I add cinnamon too 🙂
what a great blog!
here is so many inspirations,
have a nice time,
Paula
I love butternut squash too. It’s definitely delicious with just a bit of brown sugar. Sometimes I go a bit overboard and roast it with a whole lot of butter, brown, sugar, and maple syrup.
This looks amazing! I love bn squash. I just made a fantastic soup, and now I want to carmelize it!
This is such a simple way to cook butternut squash and yet SO delicious! I’m loving your butternut squash blog posts!
