I used chipotle powder and the lime just put it over the top. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with eating squash for breakfast...right?

Delicious! Loved the combination of the lime, honey and curry powder. Must admit that I have not cooked butternut squash before as I thought it would be too hard to peel and cut, but it wasn't. Will definitely make this dish again! Made for Spring PAC, April, 2012.

This is delicious! I live where I have no access to sweet potatoes so this fills in nicely! I like to wait until the squash looks farely well caramelized before adding the sauce.

Very nice autumnal side dish. I chose to cook the squash for the first ten minutes and then added the sauce. I found my vegetable was cooking a little faster than I though and I didn't want to end up with broken, mushy cubes. Made for Everyday Holiday Tag game. :)
