Homesteading: A Woman's Journey

Abbie's Squash

This morning, Abbie found a large 4-pound Butternut Squash in the garden.  She was so cute about it.  She kept saying "Squash ! Squash!" in her excited little voice.  I checked and sure enough, it was there and ready to be picked.  I picked the squash and she reached out her arms to carry it to the house.  At that size, she could barely manage, but she carefully carried it to the house.

I am now wondering how she will take the news that the squash will be tonight's dinner?

Wow!! What a great squash!!

I am really impressed at your squash! We lost all of our plants early in the season to some type of insect. I am going to move the plants next year and try again. What is your favorite recipe for butternut squash?

Our favorite way to eat it is baked with butter & brown sugar.
