Squash is one of my favorite vegtables to eat during the fall and winter months. Not only are all squash varieties (pumpkin, acorn, butternut and spaghetti)low in calories, but high in fiber and has many healhty nutrients like Vitamins C & B,Beta-Carotene, Folic Acid and Potassium! Squash is not just for Halloween decorations, it's also great to eat and you can find it all fall and winter long.
With the begining of fall I thought this recipe would be fitting for the season...
Pumpkin Pie Squash
You will need the following:
1 med-med large Butternut Squash
3 Packets of Splenda or Truvia
1-2 Tbsp. Smart Squeeze Non-Fat Margarine Spread
1/4 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice or Cinnamon
Cut the squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place squash face down on a plate and cover with cling wrap. Heat in microwave for approx. 10-14 min until tender. When done scoop out cooked squash and place in a large bowl with above ingredients. Blend all ingredients together with a spoon. The mixture should be similar to mashed potatoes. So Yummy you think you are eating dessert!!!
