    That looks great! I love to make “pumpkin” pie with butternut squash that I grow in our garden. It enables me to cut down a lot on the sugar, and it has a slightly better flavor to me. I formerly would have not thought that possible, since I have loved pumpkin pie my entire life. I could happily spend a week eating nothing but my mother-in-law’s dressing, my mom’s deviled eggs, and my pumpkin pie! I might not fit into my pants by the end of the week, though…
