I have fallen in love with winter squashes.  Today we had spaghetti squash with turkey dinner sausage.  Oh my goodness - the squash was delious!! 

I was looking for a better carb and came across this winter squash as well as butternut (love that one too).  Never heard of it before, but decided to give it a try.  Glad I did!  Super simple to cook, too. 

I cut it in half and placed in a 375 oven (rind side up) for about an hour.  I put some water in the glass dish - about an inch.  Remember to scoop out the seeds and whatnot first.  Once it gets tender, scoop out the flesh, add a little sea salt, butter, a pinch of pepper, and enjoy.

Wonderful and healthy.

If anyone has a recipe for beets, let me know.  Not pickled - fresh.
