     Loved this! Myself and a family member hadn't had butternut squash until I cooked this and it's a keeper! I cut out margarine and it's still awesome! Thanks!
    For those who find it too hard to peel: microwave the squash for approximately 2 minutes first to soften it. - 10/13/09

     One of my favorite vegetables! I use Splenda Brown Sugar and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter". I buy the squash already peeled and cubed at Whole Foods. Makes enough for 5 meals. - 5/18/09

     to make this even quicker/easier - roast the butternut squash whole, then scoop out the seeds and mash. Remember to save the seeds and toast them! yummy portion controlled snack - because there aren't that many! - 11/17/14

     I'd never tried winter squash before. I added a little cinnamon (I'm addicted to cinnamon) as well, and it was an enjoyable dish! - 10/7/12

     Love this food. I usually use sweet n low and "I can't believe it's not butter" spray for my portion. I prefer it over mashed potatoes. Same thing can be done with acorn squash - 3/3/09

     Awesome. Absolutely awesome. I also subbed the butter; I used Smart Balance because it's what I have. Just wonderful. Thanks! - 12/15/18

     This is basically the squash recipe I have used for years, but I mash it all without the nutmeg, put it into an ovenproof dish and use a fork across the surface to "stripe" it then I sprinkle on the nutmeg and place it in the oven for about 15 minutes. It comes out gorgeous and delicious.

     With butternut squash I cut it in cubes and microwave. It stays dry so I add butter and that is how we eat it. I make it in a ricer. Loved the recipe when I used no sugar or nutmeg. Ricer makes it smooth. Pat in Maine. - 11/20/16

     My husband was skeptical, but this turned out so good!! Will definitely be making this again. I paired it with mashed butternut squash and garlic green beans! - 2/21/16

     I really liked it but I didn't have fresh nutmeg and that might have made the difference! And I should have added more brown sugar. - 11/7/15
