FALL!

i've never experienced buttercup squash before. it's pretty tasty. sweet and dense. made an apple and buttercup squash bake w/raisins.

2 lb. squash
2 Cortland apples
1/2 C brown sugar
1/4 C melted Earth Balance
1 T flour
1 t salt
1/2 cinn. and nutmeg

bake at 350 for about 30-40 minutes.

there really isn't a proper way to describe how difficult it is to actually cut up this particular squash. i didn't have the patience to slice it in half and bake it in water and THEN let it cool before using it...but i should have.

still have one left. considering using some of it in the pumpkin ravioli that i anticipate making this week, as it will make it pretty sweet w/out using sugar...idk. ideas.
