YES! This is the first five-star rating I have EVER given! I roast a lot of veggies, including butternut squash, but I never would have thought of using the grapes. It's a wonderful combination with the onions and squash, and visually attractive, too. I'm afraid I disagree with Happy Harry #2 about the grapes, they are really good all caramelized and sweet and soft, not soggy, after the full roasting time. They'd be good even roasted by themselves. The pine nuts add a firm, crunchy texture that complements the softer grapes and squash. Pecans or walnuts would probably work too. Oh, I did use all oil instead of butter, but I'd use the butter for a special meal, like Thanksgiving.<br/><br/>Added 12/20/10: Out of sage? Try rosemary! It's a nice variation. If you have neither, thyme is goo, too. -
What a wonderful combination of flavors! Made exactly as posted-and wouldn't change a thing. All my favorites plus an easy oven recipe. Am going to add this to my 425 oven collection. Thank you for sharing Geema. -
You can not go wrong with this yummy side. The sage and grapes bring a whole new wonderful level to your everyday roasted squash. Made as written using globe grapes. Will make again. Thanks for the post. -
Loved it! This was a great combination of flavors and so easy to do. I just drizzled on some oil, (no butter), and put everything in a 9x13 pan. Baked it for about an hour. Perfect! -
This is positively AMAZING! I could not stop eating it. What an amazing layer of individual flavors. Next time I will add more sage. It's beautiful and delicious! I will be adding this to our Thanksgiving menu. I'm on board with Zeldaz, add the grapes and allow then to roast with all the other ingredients. Watch your timing. It may not take 50 minutes. I wish I have made more! I forgot to add the pine nuts before the taking the photo, but I did roast and add them before serving. Do not leave them out! YUM! Thanks Geema!

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges. As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic. <img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried. But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb. What a complete turn around it was to pass up all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat! <img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p>
<p> The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands. Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list. But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p>
<p>My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities. I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago. Her name is Bonny and you can read her story here: <a href=http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg target=_blank>http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg</a>.</p>
<p> When I have time for myself, I love to do all things artistic...drawing, pastels, paper craft, scrapbooking, and most recently jewelry making. I have set up a website on ETSY ( shown on this page by my website)and you can go there and see my creations.<img title=Cool src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif border=0 alt=Cool /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><a href=http://photobucket.com target=_blank><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/houdini6.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /></a> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt= /></p>
