I LOVE that you took a pic of the spices, like I said I am not a cook so knowing what the ingredient looks like is a big help. I know there are different brands that I can choose from but just seeing it helps out a non cook a lot. Thank you for this

The herbs and spices I use here are bay leaves, ground sage, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. If you’ve got poultry seasoning you could replace the sage, or you could replace the cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice with a pumpkin pie spice mix. If you don’t have the allspice, don’t worry. Put it all in a pot and bring it up to the boil, put on the lid, and turn it off until the squash is done.
I feel strongly about grating the nutmeg fresh as you need it. Once you’ve tasted fresh grated nutmeg, you won’t go back to the pre-ground stuff.
Funfact #2: The flag of the Caribbean island of Grenada contains a depiction of nutmeg, which represents its importance to Grenada’s economy as well as the island’s former name the “Isle of Spice”. less
