I love this!! Happy I found you. My Greek m-i-l makes pastitsio on special occasions, but I haven’t tried to reproduce her dish yet. I’ll add this recipe to my list.

I roasted butternut squash yesterday after sauteeing leftover Trader Joe’s mirepoix in avo oil. Winter squashes are work horses.

Food and wisdom - what's not to like? I am one of those poor souls with PCOS, so as much as I love potatoes, they are a rare treat. They've been replaced with pumpkins, squashes and roots like rutabaga (called swede here in the UK) so my blood sugar doesn't get all up in my face.

That pastitsio looks most excellent. I grew up with the original version and loved it, but often felt it needed to be lighter for our more sedentary modern times.
