Butternut Squash Recipe

So....after all this talking about being more healthy Adam and I went to the store and bought some veggies that were on sale. Right now squash was the item to be had. I usually cook it with lots of butter and brown sugar but I wanted to try something more healthy this time. I found a recipe in the internet and then I made it a little more healthy. We LOVED it....AND is smells good. We even had it for a treat last night. Here you go:

Cut the squash in half lengthwise as shown above. Discard the seeds. Spray with Pam spray across the top (lightly).

Mix in a small bowl:
1/4 t. Salt
1/8 t. pepper
1/8 t. cinnamon
1/8 t. nutmeg

Sprinkle these over the squash. Then take 1 t of brown sugar and sprinkle on top.

Bake at 400 for 35-40 min. (until a fork goes in easily)

We grew butternut squash in our garden this year. I'll have to give that recipe a try. Thanks!

I have never enjoyed squash, but I think I'll give this one a try again!

I had butternut squash on Sunday and it was delicious! However, I think I'll have to give this recipe a try. The only downfall to squash is trying to cut it! I almost took off my finger...
