Butternut Squash

Stovetop Carnitas is a regular around our house.
Other than grabbing a hunk and eating it cold for breakfast I like to try and come up with yummy things to eat with it.

The combination of spices in the mix turned out delicious.

1 butternut squash
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 T kerry gold butter (any pastured butter will do)
1/4 pecans
2-4 brazil nuts (get your selenium for the day!)
We rarely use it anymore since our tastebuds are adjusted to enjoy just the sweetness of the squash, but for those who are just transitioning from refined sugars Coconut Crystals can be a good low glycemic addition.
If you choose to use it, 1 teaspoon is plenty.

Bake squash at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes. Or pierce microwave on high for 5 minutes.
Chop nuts, add cinnamon and Coconut Crystals if desired, and sprinkle over squash.
Add twice the buttah...
Enjoy!
