Acorn squash makes a sweet substitute for potatoes in this easy mash. Use a serrated grapefruit spoon to get all the seeds and stringy fibers out of the inside of the squash.

Yummy! My son has a milk and milk intolerance so I substituted soy-free Earth Balance for the butter. It turned out great. The cinnamon adds a really nice touch and the tip regarding using the grapefruit spoon was very helpful. Read More
