This was an exccellent way to bake the squash. I have 2 picky kids and they ate it up so fast. I'll use this recipe when ever I have this type squash.

This was well loved at our Thanksgiving dinner. I used Splenda Brown sugar in 1/2 the amount ask for and doubled the cinnamon and nutmeg. It baked easily in the oven along side the chicken (we are only 4 and don't need a big turkey). Yummm. Made for PAC, Fall '07.
