The Pie

Last night we had a big bowl of buttered acorn squash for dinner. Needless to say, I had a big bowl of leftover buttered acorn squash in my fridge today. It was the last of my garden veggies from last summer, and I didn't have the heart to throw them away.

Aha! thought I. I will bake a pie with it. So I did - gluten-free crust and all. It actually was one of the best pies of I have ever made-it was so exactly like pumpkin pie that you couldn't tell the difference.

And I almost got away with it too, except that I let DH in on the secret before cutting into it. He loudly asked the kids if they wanted any squash pie, which sent Hannah into a sobbing frenzy. However, the others had some and begged for more.

Hannah finally had a piece (I confess - we made her do it) but she stubbornly said she didn't like it (even though she ate the whole piece up).
