Buttercup squash is one of the loveliest winter squashes. You can bake it like its squash-ly cousins (cut in half, scoop out seeds, roast cut-side-down on a sheet in a 350F oven until flesh is easily pierced with a knife) and use it for soups, or as mash, put it into a casserole, make souffle, make pasta sauce... really, it's very versitile and delicious. One thing about winter squash is that you can swap them with one another in pretty much any recipe, so if you have a favourite recipe for acorn or butternut or hubbard squash, you can use your happy Portugal Cove buttercup in its place. You can also use it as a stand-in for pumpkin puree, like in this cookie recipe here.

Happy eating, and thank you for all your organic veggie love!
