Re: Butternut Squash and Avocados? Be sure to pierce whole squash

[Guest guest]

Oops! I must have left that part out! Yes, you need to pierce it

several places with a knife (probably goes in easier than a fork) and

it works for any kind of winter squash. I would imagine smaller ones

need to bake a shorter time. One thing I have found with the butter

nut is that the round end will be done before the narrow end. Be sure

your knife goes in the narrow end super easy, like slicing through

butter almost, otherwise you'll probably find it's harder than you think.

Hooray for our local Loblaws. They sell two brands of peeled butternut squash

cut into

long chunks, easy to cube or slice thin for squash chips. Many stores will cut

the swhole

acorn or butternut quash in half for you. Watch out for Whole Foods as they

charge extra

for this. Frozen squash comes in a solid block but will only make pureed squash.

I used to

put whole squash in the microwave for 2 minutes but gave my " nuker " away six

years ago

and have lived happily ever after without it's humming and microwave radiation

as I have

electrical sensitivity.
