Introduction
This is a great fall dish that is also very versatile. I have used Maple Garlic kick in leiu of Cinnamon and Nutmeg. I use "I can't believe its not butter light" to cut down on calories, but whatever your favorite butter/margarine is will work the same, just change the cals.It can be served as a side with maple garlic chicken, an appetizer, or a meal if you are not super hungry! You could probably even scoop out the inside and puree it for a tasty soup! This is a great fall dish that is also very versatile. I have used Maple Garlic kick in leiu of Cinnamon and Nutmeg.
