“Great recipe! If a person had never tried squash instead of pumpkin, you'd never really know how good it is. Being from New England, this is more of a tradition than pumpkin at our house.”

"This is a great recipe. It's been in our family for years. The only other thing we added was a slice of bacon across each one, and you can add nutmeg or cinnamon and sugar. Both are great on it. This is the only way my teenager will eat it."

"This is a great holiday side dish. A real crowd pleaser. It's a way of providing that little bit of rich nut and sweet squash flavor that goes so well with a turkey, ham or whole roasted fish. The ginger offers a little "zing" that your menu just might be looking for without straying too far from that classic squash side dish we love on the Thanksgiving table."

-Daydream
“When cooking butternut squash, don't throw out the seeds when you can roast them into these tasty treats. The warm aroma of cinnamon and vanilla fills our home while these roast. They are crispy, and have just the right balance of flavors. This recipe calls for butternut squash seeds, but the seeds of any other winter squash could be substituted such as pumpkin, acorn, or hubbard.”
-MarthaStewartWanaBe
"This comes from the Splenda site and makes a very tasty muffin that is lower in fat and sugar!"

-St. Louie Suzie

-Huntergirl
