i have discovered the goodness that is simply a baked or roasted or whatever acorn and spaghetti squash.

i'm not sure how i didn't realize how these are so good with a little pat of butter, but it took me over 21 years to learn this. haha.

just thought i would share with the masses how delightfully delicious and fairly low-cal they are! :smile:

    I love squash too! I could eat it LITERALLY every day. Since I live in New England it is VERY abundant as well. I usually curry mine, or stew it. I really want to make a smooth creamy butternut squash soup, but I have not seen a low fat variety. (Without cream, or a cream substitute that is low fat). I think almond milk might work..IDK I have to look up recipes.

    try drizzing maple syrup after roasting.. oh yummmmmmm.. I have two plants growing in my garden right now, I hope they give good fruit!

    For the soup, I make a creamy carrot soup and I use red lentils in with it - the lentils get all mushy and when I blend it the result is a very creamy soup without any actual cream. Might work with squash too!

    I never use cream in my butternut squash soup, but everyone thinks I do! Its just the squash cooked in Chicken broth, blended until smooth with onions, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, paprika, brown sugar and some yogurt butter ( about a tablespoon). I get rave reviews and requests for it all year long!

    I agree. I love squash, all kinds.

    I believe that zucchini tastes like butter when roasted or grilled.
