" my favorite butternut squash recipe:

cut squash in half, coat inside with butter and sprinkle with brown sugar, salt, and pepper
place cut side up in a shallow baking pan in 1 inch of water
bake at 350 for about 1 hour until browned and tender (test with a fork) "

" I cut them into halves. 

If they are really big, cut into fourths. Remove seeds and pulp. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamin and several pats of butter. Bake in a 350 to 400 degree oven for about an hour. My grandmother had a huge garden and grew butternut and acorn squash. She made both this way. It is so good! "

" Is there an easy way to peel a butternut squash"

" I bake a mean butternut squash cake in the Fall and to make peeling easier, I cut the squash in half, put a bit of butter in the clean cavity, and bake them until tender. Then I just scoop out the flesh.

If you want your squash to be more firm, pop them into a pot of boiling water for a minute and remove them and shock them in cold water. That may work to loosen the peel. "
