I was browsing the organic produce section of my local grocery store to see what’s on sale. I stumbled upon the buttercup squash. It’s like the baby sister of the Kabocha squash. However, I find the buttercup squash slightly sweeter and less starchy than its big sister.
Like I’ve said before, I love fall squashes and fall flavours so I decided to dress this cute little squash in maple syrup and cinnamon. Yum!
