I just made this for dinner, it was great! I used 2 small butternut squash as the 3 med squash, and used canned chicken instead of fresh. If you didn't know any better you wouldn't think it had all the veggies in it. So for all those "must have meat, to be a real dinner" husbands out there, they will love it. I will make this again.

I?m ?originally from Texas, but now live in Florida. Still gotta have that spice though....love chipotle peppers, habaneros, and jalapenos. This is a picture of myself & my 2 daughters taken in Dec'06. I am working on my graduate degree, & still work as a nurse prn. When I'm not cooking and eating what I cook... I head for the gym to work out. As far as cookbooks, I love the church/ community cookbooks, where someone has dug out old handwritten recipes by granny and shared them with others-those are the best kind. If I had a month off, I'd for sure go hiking, would love to visit Australia and New Zealand.?
