can the squash be cooked the day ahead and then heated with glaze -
It was an intense topping on an underwhelming base. Maybe another method would be better at developing the flavor of the squash itself. I also believe that a bit of salt was required to make the pecans nutty. -
Wonderful flavor -- absolutely loved this squash dish and wish I had made it for Thanksgiving. But, there's always Christmas, next Thanksgiving and everyday of the year in between. : ) So simple to make and so delicious. Made for What's on the Menu tag game. -
I mean really, what's NOT to love about this awesome recipe. Easy and delicious! We had it aside some salmon and I have to say that the butter pecan sauce was FABULOUS atop the salmon too. WOW what a tasty dinner we had this evening. Thanks for sharing this keeper! -
I couldn't believe something so simple could taste so good! I used splenda brown sugar and sugar free syrup for a tad bit healthier version.
