Baked the butternut squash tonight for dinner - did the brown sugar and butter.
It was better than I expected - even DD ate it and she's picky.
My 3 yr old wouldn't touch it though - he won't eat anything mashed.

I have some left that I mashed and left plain -can I freeze it?

Oh yes! The acorn squash are sooo good!

Get one, slice it in half then remove the seeds and gunk. Then rub it down really well with butter and sprinkle with brown sugar and pecans. Microwave until soft and scrape the squash out of the shell.
