  3. Does this look delicious! I'm going to have to try it with Hubbards, though, for my Buttercups are too dry and for some odd reason, my Butternuts didn't germinate! How strange it that. But I'm definitely making this. I love squash! Is this particular blend of rice par-boiled or can I substitute wild rice? Nice blog. Found you on the Tuesday blog hops. :-)

  4. Yum! I wonder what it would taste like to add some smoked sausage or ham and make it into a main dish?
