I had been keeping an eye on a beautiful butternut squash as it grew the past several weeks. Unfortunately, the squash was being watched by someone else as well and disappeared before it could be used in this week's muffin recipe. Quick remedy....I picked up several replacement squash at Trader Joe's and "planted" them amidst the trailing vines. Sad at the disappearance of our squash, but momentary disaster averted. While searching for kid-friendly recipes, I happened upon butternut squash muffins. Cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice combined beautifully with the squash for a delicate and lightly sweet mini muffin. As the muffins came out of the oven, a hush fell over the crowd (due to serious taste testing) and three dozen mini muffins quickly disappeared. This unexpected veggie treat was the first recipe to be a unanimous hit in both classrooms!
