I changed it a little using real bacon (low sodium) as well as Light Cheddar Cheese, if you have the option to buy butternut squash already cut up (even if it is cubed) I say go for it the peeling and cutting was realy tough and time consuming. It is very tasty and I know that is 170 calories per serving but I had less then a full serving and it was enough 0 -
