Let's just start off by saying that cutting up a butternut squash is a workout on it's own.  So you're eating super healthy and getting a bonus arm workout.. talk about a win win!  Once the squash is chopped up you simply boil until soft and mashable.  We went ahead and mashed this up with half and half, but you can use low-fat milk if you would like to save even more calories.  You certainly don't need butter as the BUTTERnut squash already has a nice buttery quality about it ;)  

Hope you enjoy this healthy and delicious side dish :)
