Oh your goat just made my morning {grin}, it is really cold here to 8 deg this morning, but the sun is shining. I have made this butternut squash recipe, but learned some new, to put it in the microwave (instead of oven) Yeah!!! It looks so much quicker your way. Thanks for the recipe.
I have my hat, thanks to you! ;) And, thank you for this delicious looking recipe. Love the idea of whipping it up in the microwave!! Stay warm.
Love the goat! And definitely counts towards your veggies!

I guess it is a veggie dessert.
The squash soup looks good... I've never tried making it, but I like the microwave directions. I think one of your readers may need glasses :-) That's a sheep!
Looks yummy-and healthy.
I had squash for dinner last night.....I don't think there is a way I don't like it, but sweet like this is my favorite. Never tried blending the sweet stuff in. I usually put it on top. But I bet your way is nice too since all the goodies are in every bite.
How delicious! I like what Kim said - it's a veggie dessert! Doesn't get much better than that. Thanks for sharing @ Tasty Tuesdays.

I like this method. I hate peeling it and scooping out the seeds. This way, it is all done after they are cooked.
