Got home and fumbled my way through the recipe, making little adjustments here and there, and finally got a finished product. So I went with what was available, yellow squash with onions (still of the frozen variety). Unfortunately, there was no frozen butternut squash to be found in the store I chose. I didn't have time to roast one anyway, and to be honest, I didn't want to. The recipe actually calls for it initially in that state. I went to the store to get some frozen butternut squash. So I turned to an expert – Rachael Ray, and settled on her Boo's Butternut Squash Mac-n-Cheese recipe from 365: No Repeats.
