Slow Cooker Butternut Squash

"From the blog "Cook Eat Paleo". I've done this with potatoes, sweet potatoes and beets, but never thought of squash - it's so much bigger, but I'm thinking anything that fits in the slow cooker can be done this way. The water is there just because you need two ingredients to post a recipe!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
