  1. Oh man, these sound delicious! I can totally see making an entire meal out of these bites…I love b-nuts, and bacon just makes everything better! But let’s talk about this house divided thing. I think I just found a reason why lil Shashi might not want to move up here. I love pecan pie! It’s my favorite pie for the holidays. But I’ll make her a deal…I’ll make her a pecan pie whenever she wants one as long as she shares (at least) one slice with me. Mmmkay? Also, love the Coca-Cola packaging for the holidays…that Coke polar bear is a winter classic! ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. What a wonderful and healthy recipe… and well presented! I really like those small bites of butternut squash that it will be so easy to make and offer to your guests in such important occasion. But… pls do not take it the wrong way Shashi, wouldn’t it be great if…you substitute coca-cola with a healthy refreshment or drink too?

  3. Sometimes it is best NOT to share. I wish my family wasn’t as into chocolate like I am ๐Ÿ™‚ But these butternut bacon bites–I could eat them all to myself too!

  4. Sometimes it totally is a good thing that we like different foods. Take wings, for instance, hubby likes the ‘drum’ part and I like the ‘wing’ part so when we have wings, it works out perfectly for us ๐Ÿ™‚ Your daughter sounds like a sweetheart! ‘Twice as joyful’ – how nice is that? The polar beer on Coke bottles and those ads have been around forever! I particular like those ads….so cute! And I’m loving these butternut squash and bacon bites. Perfect for the holidays or even Friday night eats ๐Ÿ™‚

  5. FEAST-ivities: LOVE it! Shashi, how do you ALWAYS manage to make me chuckle? Even on a Monday. Haha. The nerve! How could she change and grow?? Lolol. Twice as joyful? Your daughter sure has an amazing way with words–especially since they usually involve getting a double batch of your goodies. ๐Ÿ˜‰ These butternut squash bites are totally inspired Shashi! I know of a bacon lover or a million who would just go bonkers over these! Happy Monday my dear! ๐Ÿ™‚

  6. oh dear me, this is exactly the kind of appetizer I would LOVE, bacon and butternut squash makes everything better. yum. {client}

  7. Ha ha your daughter and I would fight over the pecan pie, because I too LOVE pecan pie!

    These look like super simple appetizers Shashi for your Thanksgiving festive period.

    My project manager is going over to the States to stay with her friend over the Thanksgiving period and she cannot wait to fill herself with delicious food!

    Enjoy! ๐Ÿ˜€

  8. I love pecan pie too, Shashi. What a perfect and pretty looking holiday appetizers, Shashi. I guess I shouldn’t wait for Thanksgiving weekend to enjoy these yummy bites when I can enjoy them anytime . ๐Ÿ˜‰ So much yes to this yummy gluten-free recipe.

  9. Unfortunately, as far as desserts go, my children all like my preferences…ugh. I never get the last slice …or the first. If im lucky, I may get a sliver of in between. Don’t invite me to your house, your daughter will have to share her pie with me!
    This bites look great..I love the flavours…would prolly have to replace with turkey bacon but still….pretty delicious stuff!

  10. Okay, these are awesome. I’ve never even thought to do an appetizer like this with squash, but it’s genius! Such a cool way to spice things up. Yum!

  11. I completely agree, sometimes it’s nice not to have to share (just don’t tell my mom I said that). Sometimes I’ll bring a dish that just my family (or even just I ) like happily knowing that there’ll be plenty of leftovers. These bites sound so flavorful and tasty, Shashi!

  12. These look wonderful. What
    Is the sauce in the picture? And do they reheat well? Are they good cold? I need to bring an appetizer but have to travel for 45 minutes to get there.

    1. Hey Ann, that sauce is plain old sambal oelek. Yes, they do store and reheat well – I just popped leftovers in the oven (350) for about 10-12 minutes the next day – made them a bit more firm too. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. Hope you and your family enjoy these and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

  13. Can the almond paste be substituted with something else? We have a serious nut allergy in our family but
    These sound delicious!

      1. Hi Mary Kay – so sorry for the delay in replying – yes – it sure can – you could use ground up quick oats or regular all purpose flour. You could also fry them till golden – they turn out crispier that way. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family – If you make these I sure hope you enjoy them.

        1. How about cornmeal? And I don’t have parsley and HATE to go to the store now. Would country be ok or too intense?

          1. Hey Mary Kay, I haven’t tried cornmeal so I couldn’t vouch for it but it might work. Btw, you could get by without the parsley – I got back from the store a little while ago and it was hectic in there – don’t blame you for not wanting to go. I’m not sure what “country” is?

          2. Lol – yes – cilantro would work great! I actually made these with cilantro too the first time and preferred it with it – a friend of mine doesn’t like cilantro thats why I made this batch with parsley

  14. What is the green leafy ingredient? How much do I use?
    Cilantro? Parsley?
    I do not see anything green and leafy in the list of ingredients.

    1. Hi Noah – thanks so much for letting me know – that’s parsley – 1 teaspoon chopped up in the mix. I have updated the recipe – happy thanksgiving to you and your family
