You’ll fall in love w/ winter squash when you use this
clever HH Kitchen Hack. Winter
squash are too hard to attack raw w/ a knife. Soften them up the night before with a gentle pre
roasting. Place them on a
parchment lined sheet pan. Load
into a cold oven, set the temp to 400, set a timer for 40 mins. Turn off oven & let the squash cool
overnight in the turned off oven.
Or do it before you head out to work. Once cool, peel, seed & dice. Each squash yields about 2 cups diced acorn squash.

While it bakes, combine apple, orange, strawberries &
opt honey etc. I love color alliteration, so I use pomegranate molasses w/
the strawbabies.
You can use 1 1/4
cups of buttermilk if you want, but most everyone has yogurt in the house these
days.
This is a great breakfast
for dinner treat. Serve it w/ a
sea salt caramel ice cream for sweet & savory tongue tinglings.
