My last meal...

...has to include one of my new favorite recipes,

Maple-glazed winter vegetables out of a new cookbook I found.

I can't describe the flavors because it was nothing like I've ever tasted.

When trying new recipes in my family, it's a risk. 

It tends to be either a hit or a disaster.

This was definitely an out-of-the-park home run!

I've had some squash that needs to be used up and this is the perfect application. 

 It's a little tedious having to peel and dice the squash, but one of my butternut squash yielded four,

 two cup servings.  I froze the three remaining servings to use for next time,

which will probably be very soon.

This was a delightful little surprise.

It's called coconut pumpkin pie. I was a little taken back

because I could hardly taste much of the pumpkin in it. 

The pumpkin to coconut ratio was 2:1 so I assumed it would be just a tad different.

The whole family loved it and it was requested for the my little princess' birthday celebration with my parents this weekend.  It was relatively healthy and only had a 3/4 cup of brown sugar in it.

This next batch I think I will substitute with sucanut.
