Creativity from boredom

The best dishes I cook are on days when I'm uninspired and bored with the idea of making dinner. Somewhere out of that boredom, I look around and find a vegetable that needs to be eaten and I cook something good up. This week it was diced butternut squashed sauteed and cooked in short-grain brown rice and garnished with salsa and avocado. Mmm Mmm Mmmmmm I'm almost want to turn around and again right away.

That sounds good.
Did you have a recipe or just make it up?

I made it up, but it originally comes from a recipe. You saute an onion in a mixture of butter and olive oil in a wide skillet or pot with a lid, then add your diced veggie or veggies (Butternut squash in this case), cook a little more, then add rice, stir, then add chiken broth, boil, then cook for 40 minutes.
