    It's definitely a Paula recipe!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    After reading the comments posted earlier, I thought to make a few tweeks. I used 2 tablespoons of butter but only 1... tablespoon of maple syrup and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. I also added 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon. Perfect!Read more

    Texture

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    My husband and I made this recipe and we love it, I thought it was a little stringy though. Is there something we did... wrong, or is it supposed to be this texture?Read more

    Loved It!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I ended up baking the squash for 41 minutes, not the full hour called for in the recipe. Anything more than 41 minutes would... have caused my squash to burn. It was wonderfully flavorful and perfectly tender. My husband liked it so much, that he not only finished his half but polished off the last bit of my half, too! This is definitely a keeper.Read more

    Excellent sweet side dish

    I cut down the maple syrup but made it otherwise by the recipe! It was fantastic. A great side for pork tenderloin!! I will... be keeping this recipe close by.Read more
