I'm looking for suggestions for cooking butternut squash for my 1 year old DD. She's doing good w/ other veggies, but just thought I'd try this out! Thanks!

This is one of Sarah's favorites!
You can cook it one of two ways. To microwave, cut it in half, put it cut side down in a microwaveble dish, then microwave on high for several minutes, turning about half way through. Unfortunately, the number of minutes will vary depending on your microwave. Just keep doing a couple minutes at a time until it is done to your liking.
You can also bake it. To bake, put the whole squash (uncut) in a pan in the oven for about 45 minutes at 350. Easy!
Once it has cooked, scoop out the seeds, peel and cut the squash in chunks. You can serve as a finger food if you don't microwave or bake quite as long (I would only bake for about 30-35 minutes). It tastes very similar to sweet potato, so if your baby likes sweet potato, they'll like butternut squash.
