Orange and Maple Glaze Sweet Potatoes and Butternut Squash

I don’t know when sweet potatoes overtook my love of potatoes but it has. If given the option now between a potato or a sweet potato, I will definitely take the sweet potato every time.

Well I thought it was time to also give butternut squash some time too. Together these were delicious and just sweet enough. I plan to use the leftovers to make soup.
