Savory Corn Crumble with Butternut Squash, Spinach and Feta Recipe
Fall brings us wonderful, wonderful foods and one of Grumpy and my very favorites is butternut squash. I don't think I could ever get sick of it and I totally crave it - not just in the fall, but all year long. Before we get full swing into December and all the holiday sweets that start flowing from our blogs, I want to share with you this wonderful recipe from Ivory of Kopiaste. It is a filling flavored with butternut squash, spinach and feta topped with a delicious crispy corn crumble. Yummy is the word people!
This recipe is going to be a keeper around here (Grumpy is also a big fan of spinach!). Check out Ivy's recipe below. It might sound like a lot by the title, but it really is very simple to put together and I believe that you will not regret trying this one out!
