"This colorful butternut squash and rice recipe showcases the flavor of fall’s harvest in an easy yet deeply satisfying vegetarian (and vegan) meal. Feel free to be creative! Use brown rice (versus white) or wild rise for a heartier dish. Use almonds or other nuts instead of pistachios or pinenuts. Use cranberries instead of raisins! ..."
