My favorite root vegetables right now are beets.: they're sweet and earthy, which means that they sort of taste like dirt. But somehow that's okay. 

Bring Fall's signature squash to your table in more than just pie - here's my favorite way to do it.

No gluten because there's no wheat. No grain at all actually. Mostly nuts. Slightly sweet. Very crunchy and unexpectedly soft in the center - not sure why exactly but a nice surprise.
