Today’s recipe is Butternut Squash with Apple and Cranberries

1 1-2lb butternut squash cut into ½ inch cubes
1 large apple, peeled and cubed
1 cup fresh and washed cranberries
¼ tsp each cinnamon and nutmeg
2 TBS packed brown sugar

Mix all ingredients in baking dish and cover. Bake 30 mins in 425* oven. Remove cover and bake an additional 15 mins or until squash is tender.

You'll need to use squares and some red circles along with something sparkly on your layout.

LOVE your page, Tracy. The layering of the square frames are so cool!

Love the orange! Great challenge!

We were just sitting there and listening to the music and watching others dance when my sister with her walker decided to join the dancers. Sorry if the picture is a bit bleary, but we were laughing so hard it was not easy to hold the camera steady.

Very nice patriotic page! I love that you documented your jury duty! Did you like it? I've served twice and found them fascinating. I was called 2 more times but had to turn them down as I was taking care of my mom.

The judge sent a letter, thanking us for being on the jury and thanking us for sacrificing our time to help with the case. Thanking us for helping the judicial system work. I’m sure it was a formal letter that they sent to everyone. But it was pretty cool so I saved it and they also wanted us to write back if we had any other concerns or questions.
