Brown Sugar Glazed Butternut Squash for Two

When it comes to butternut squash, I like to keep it simple. I wasn’t even sure I liked this type of squash until a couple of years ago and since then I’ve gone through several different recipes. I always knew it had potential but I couldn’t find a recipe that knocked my socks off. After all the work it takes to get a squash prepped and ready, I wanted to feel like my time and energy was worth it. I stumbled across this recipe on Cooks Country’s website. Truth be told it ended up being butternut squash for one. It was so good I ate it all before my husband got home. Two cups is about half of a medium squash. If using a whole squash, double all of the other ingredients.
