    If you know me, then this post will come as no surprise to you.  There is some sweet heat in some little bites in this post and believe me when I say they are yummy bites!  This recipe incorporates some of my very favorite flavors ever - all in a little appetizer bite!

    Butternut Squash Bruschetta - buttery squash elevated with some honey and chili! #appetizer #butternut

    I was searching recipes for small plates to get some ideas for this week when I saw the recipe for Butternut Squash Bruschetta.  I immediately went to the recipe because it sounded too interesting to pass up.  Then I read the ingredient list and knew I could not pass it up.  My next trip to Price Chopper had me buying a baguette so I could put this yummy appy together!

    There is honey, chili flakes, walnuts and caper berries topped with asiago cheese.  Strong flavors mixed with sweet for a perfect party bite.  If your wanting to use your butternut squash in a different way for Christmas or New Years, this is it!  The night I made this, it was my meal alone.  That went along perfectly with a bottle of Blue Moon.  🙂 Go ahead, try it, share it, and become the star of your party!

      The flavors you describe do sound like the perfect bite! I would want way too many bites of this. And I haven't bought a butternut squash yet - I need to put one on my list.
