#GlutenFree Butternut Squash and Apple Cabbage Rolls

I hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving. As you know I shared a recipe with you from my sweet neighbor Miss Kitty. After a long week of traveling for my job. I decided that I would make a new creation inspired by my sweet neighbors cabbage rolls.  Plus since its Monday its a Meat less dish for my vegetarian following. I hope you enjoy and have had a great and fabulous holiday season.
