Butternut Squash

My husband and I took a chance and bought a small butternut squash, but now, we don't know what to do with it. Any HEALTHY (of course) Ideas?

You can peel off the rind, and make butternut squash fries. You can microwave it and then mash it like mashed sweet potatoes.

For dessert, you can put in a small pad of butter and some splenda brown sugar (or brown sugar) and have a great sweet treat

i eat squash a lot. love it.
any type of squash can be cooked these ways:

first, cut it in half and clean out the innards, then, either

bake it in oven, about 350 for an hour (or till soft)
or
mircowave it 5-10+ min till soft.

i enjoy mine w/ salt and marg.

Good that way or cut it into cubes and steam it in the microwave. Drain the exess water off and spray it with I can't believe it's not butter spray( no calories for 5 sprays!) Enjoy it
