Posh Squash

Squash. Squishy Squashy Posh Squash. We love squash. It smells like thanksgiving. I had never prepared squash until I decided to make it for Boopee. I personally love squash..especially squash moussaka ...though I have never tried the other varieties of squash....other than yellow squash.( I guess it's the most common in restaurants...)Well silly me...bought yellow squash to begin with because that was all that they had...WELL needless to say...THAT didn't work. It was all seeds. I don't know why I didn't think of it while I was in the store...I suppose it was just because I had never actually cooked squash before... Anyway.. I returned..well should I say relocated my shopping to the farmers market and found a much better selection of different breeds of squash...where I proceeded to buy a butternut and an acorn squash.

Posh Squash

Ingredients:

1/2 Large Butternut Squash

What We Did:

1. Cut Butternut squash in half lengthwise and scooped out seeds. Placed face down in about a 1/2 inch of water and baked at 400 Degrees for about an hour.

2. Stabbed Acorn Squash like we were some kind of crazy person out of a teenage slasher movie. Stuck in oven on a foil covered baking dish right up next to the butternut squash @ 400 for about an hour.

3. When the acorn squash was done baking...cut in half...remove seeds... yay!

4.  Scoop all the yumminess out of the squash!

Boopee tested: Boopee approved.. =) I think she would give it a 4.8 out of 5. Squash is at the top of her list so far out of all the veggies!
