Notes
Kids in the Kitchen:
Peeling, seeding and chopping a hard butternut squash (or any winter squash) can be quite a challenge.
Let the kids sift through and rinse the squash seeds, toss with tamari soy sauce and toast in the oven. Move over toasted pumkin seeds, wait 'til you try tamari roasted butternut seeds!
