Introduction
A great hit with guests but also a good way to get the kids to eat vegetables. You can switch ingredients up to lower sugar and/or calories but you will have to play with them. I found a different version of this recipe and tweaked it to my liking. You could do the same if you'd like. I've made possible suggestions for the switch but I haven't tried them to see if they work. A great hit with guests but also a good way to get the kids to eat vegetables.

Hi there :) I really want to try this out, but before I do..is the total nutrient count just with the filling alone? Or is that with the pie crust included? Wasnt sure if the filling made its own crust...if that makes since lol! Regardless, i cant wait to try! - 2/25/10

Hi :) the total count was without a crust but you could certainly add one if you'd like. To me, it was fine without a crust. I think it's a matter of preference but since it's a squash, it is a little watery, you may get a soggy crust. Hope you like it!
