Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash

I’ve always been a huge fan of vegetables. When I was little my favorite food was salad. On my birthday my mom would make my favorite dinner and all I ever asked for was salad. I’m pretty sure I could eat salad every night for dinner and be a very happy girl.  There’s just something about a huge bowl of veggies drizzled with blue cheese dressing.

Along with salad, I love a pan of roasted veggies. In fact, there are many nights that I’m happy to just eat a full plate of roasted vegetables. Forget the meat, I’m happy with a bowl of Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Butternut Squash.
