Butternut Squash

To bake butternut, wash the skin, cut the squash in half, and scoop out the seeds. Pierce the skin several times with a fork and bake in a 350 oven for about 45 minutes.

You might brush on a little melted butter mixed with brown sugar after baking. Or try this delicious blend: 3 tablespoons butter, softened; 1 tablespoon lime juice; 1 teaspoon chili powder; and salt and coarsely ground pepper to taste. Mix ingredients and then spoon into the baked squash halves.
