  1. My favorite fall food is butternut squash. I put cinnamon and a small amount of stevia in the cooked squash. Then I smash it like mashed potatoes with some butter. It’s so good.

    PS. I am loving you site and the info you post. Thanks.

    1. Thank you so much friend 💕 And yay! Butternut squash is my runner up! And the ones from my garden are extra flavorful and tender. We love to cube it and cook it in rosemary and salt. But mashed sounds amazing!
