Notes
The dish is even easier. We chose not to peel the butternut squash to save on time. We just cut in half, removed the seeds and sliced in ¼ inch slices so that would cook quickly. We left the peel on to save time and protect those wee little fingers of yours. How many of you have had an emergency room visit after a bad encounter with a dull knife and a butternut squash? Be careful dear friends.
