Now all we need is a turkey and some cranberry sauce (and Carrie can bring the Shoo Fly Pie). I would love to list your blog on my list! Let me know if it's OK!

I completely agree about the grapefruit spoon; if I had one I'd use it. And you've reminded me that peeling first, would definitely not work for all winter squash. I always peel my large pumpkins and squash after I've cooked them. I'm going to go back and edit the post to include that point. I'll have to try leaving the skin on the butternut next time. Like you I am all for sneaky nutrition =) Michelle, thanks for the additional tips. I completely agree about the grapefruit spoon; if I had one I’d use it.

She also gives <a href="http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2006/10/pumpkin-apple-butter.html " rel="nofollow">tips</a>on preparing squash in the pressure cooker or steaming it - with the skin on and then removing it later when it peels off. Cindy from cindalouskitchenblues.blogspot.com taught me that many kinds (if not all) squash skin can be cleaned and then eaten after cooked, adding fiber and nutrition and minimizing work. I tried acorn squash peel/skin tonight inside a soup and didn't notice a difference. Yay for sneaky nutrition. <a href="http://www.somethinginseason.com/2007/10/pumpkin-pie-from-scratch-part-1.html" rel="nofollow">Brendan</a> of Something in Season uses a serrated knife to cut off pumpkin skin like you would a pineapple. Best of luck! I hope you don’t mind me sharing some other squash tips - I love squash:
