I was just feeling more of a &#8220;Fall&#8221; veggie. It turned out really good. I would definitely make it again but I probably wouldn&#8217;t use the butternut squash. It got a little mushy. I&#8217;d probably do carrots, sweet potatoes and broccoli next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>2&nbsp;tablespoons&nbsp;<\/strong>tahini, well stirred<br><\/li><li><strong>3&nbsp;tablespoons&nbsp;<\/strong>fresh lemon juice, plus more to serve<br><\/li><li><strong>2&nbsp;<\/strong>large cloves garlic, minced<br><\/li><li><strong><sup>1<\/sup>\/<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;teaspoon&nbsp;<\/strong>kosher salt<br><\/li><li><strong><\/strong>Several grinds black pepper<br><\/li><li><strong>2&nbsp;tablespoons&nbsp;<\/strong>olive oil<br><\/li><li><strong>4&nbsp;cups&nbsp;<\/strong>broccoli, cut into 1 1\/2-inch florets<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Directions:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Preheat oven to 450\u00b0 F.<\/li><li>Place all of the ingredients except for the broccoli in a large bowl and whisk to combine.

We are slowly getting things finished up. We spent the whole weekend working on the office, storage, organizing and then organizing the half bath storage. Michael installed shelves in one of the office closets and I got everything organized (and labeled!). It felt good to check something off the list and it looks really nice. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday we had a little dinner party.
