When you eat great food, you feel great, too. So every month, we share what we know about one of our favorite seasonal foods, along with some terrific recipes that feature it. This month, it's winter squash!

“Winter squash” is actually used for myriad varieties of sturdy, hard-skinned squashes that are a rich source of nutrition. The butternut is the most common all-purpose winter squash, with a distinctively long neck, bulbous bottom and smooth, relatively thin pinkish-beige skin; its firm orange flesh is sweet with a hint of nuts, and its creamy texture makes it perfect for many different kinds of recipes.
