Firstly, before I say anything else, I want to apologize for these atrocious pictures! I rely heavily on natural lighting for my photography, and it seems that as soon as the sun sets and I have to take pictures in my dimly lit ceiling fanned kitchen, all my photography knowledge just disappears. So, sorry.
Ok, so it is probably very public knowledge by now that my husband is a hater of winter squash. Does not like it. Especially when it is covered with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. And let's not even mention marshmallows, ok? I just cannot understand this, and so I have been desperate to try and find some way that he will eat them. Masking them with spicy southwestern flavors seemed like it would be a good try, especially with bacon in there, too!! And you know what, he said that maybe sweet potatoes were not so bad after all, in small quantities. Coming from him, that is a glowing review. And I loved this, by the way! :)
