We were going to try sweet potatoes next, but post-Thanksgiving the grocery store was all out of them! Can you believe it? So instead I picked up a butternut squash. I have never prepared butternut squash before, so I wasn't quite sure what to do with it. Thankfully the internet told me! I opted to roast the squash, which was apparently the easiest method and I have to say it was easy. I cut it in half, put it in the oven and 40 minutes later it was soft and mushy. I scraped it out into the food processor and voila! Butternut squash puree. It smelled good, it looked good but did it taste good? I let Corinne decide. She took a bite and gave me a look like "that's not bananas!" I wasn't sure she was going to like it. And I was really hoping she would because I now have two ice cube trays of it in the freezer! But a few bites later the face was much happier. Success!!! She likes it!! She'll have it for a few more days and then we'll try something else. Maybe a green vegetable......
