In my 20s, when I bought my first house, I would get home from work and watch hours of cooking shows. My girlfriends would be watching Sex and the City and I'd be watching Anthony Sedlak from the Main on the Canadian Food Network. It's here that I came across this recipe for Smashed Butternut Squash with Sage. I had been watching an episode of the Main and the chef was making some sort of chicken and a few other things, but what stood out was the butternut squash.
