I can’t believe how fast the summer flew by! We ended off the summer with my son Dovid’s upsherin. It’s crazy how one small haircut can transform a baby into a big boy. He looks so handsome! I was so focused on the upsherin, I have not had a chance to really think about my Yom Tov cooking yet. It’s coming before we know it! I’m not worried, because I’ll use some of my favorite go-to dishes such as my succulent chicken with squash recipe. I am so excited to be able to share this recipe with you. I make this one-pan dish for Friday nights, Rosh Hashanah, or Sukkos. It’s super easy, looks gorgeous, and has all the fall “feels.” Kids and adults both love it. Wishing all my readers a Chasiva v’chasima tova and happy and healthy year!
