Cody really wanted to make green bean casserole, so Blair and I made some other autumnal sides.
The butternut squash soup was satisfying and creamy, but we had to add sweetener and ginger and nutmeg to make the squash palatable. I think it could use more stock and some milk (coconut, almond, oat) to make it even creamier in the blender. Maybe using immersion blender would be better.
Mashed potatoes were good but we wished they were Yukon golds instead of russets. Made creamy with a little Kite Hill almond yogurt which honestly tasted awful on its own.
Cody killed Isa’s green bean casserole recipe. We cooked the casserole in a large Dutch oven before we baked it in a glass dish. It was creamy, almost cheesy, and baked to perfection. Thermometer stuck in the middle side registered 220°. Casserole was crunchy with the fried onions, but we wished it had more french cut green beans to match the large amount of mushrooms in the recipe.
