You could cut time down by buying premade polenta, the candied pumpkin seeds sound like a great snack I am going to make a big batch and snack on em later.

You could also do this recipe the next night after you make the "Roasted Butternut Squash Puree with Goat Cheese" Which you also need to roast some squaaaaash for. Roast two :o) and mash one.

this is great. i'm obsessed w/ fall salads and i'll certainly try this one. i'd definitely trim down on the work, though. to start, i'd brown prepared polenta slices (from the dairy case). I'd also skip roasting the seeds and just top with some walnuts. the dressing looks fussy. i'd just do a simple dressing w/ maybe some lemon juice, cider vinegar and olive oil. The parmesan sounds odd. I think goat’s cheese or a blue would be nicer.

Trader Joe's sells cut and peeled butternut squash in the veggie section, raw pumpkin seeds and pre-cooked polenta. I spent an hour peeling pumpkin last night, and I probably won't do that again; however I will make the salad again, and again. A spoonful of dried cranberries made it even better.
