We don’t know about you, but we’re pretty excited about the Oscars this Sunday. It’s fairly obvious that gold is the color most associated with the Oscars; and rightly so–that handsome {and highly coveted} Oscar wears gold so well. We’re hoping he inspires some of our favorite actresses to don that signature color so that all that glitters will be gold.

Our inspiration today, however, does not come from Oscar {handsome as he may be}. We’re taking a cue from our gold dusted risotto in butternut squash cups–so glam, and so red carpet worthy {if we do say so ourselves}. Have a fabulous weekend!
