Story

There are all kinds of ways to make butternut squash, but this is one of the craziest. Our kids love this dish because it's more of a dessert than a vegetable. As a matter of fact, a picky eater might be fooled into thinking they're not eating squash at all. We do what we have to in order to get our kids to eat their veggies! I'm calling it a side dish, but go ahead and call it a treat if you want. Enjoy!
