I'm sitting here totally giggling at myself.. I'm on this pre surgery diet.. I only have a very few things I'm allowed to select off to eat up to 6 serv a day in addition to my 4 Protein drinks .. Wanna know what I'm "cheating" with... Eating spaghetti squash with Chipotle chili seasoning ???? not cake, not Pasta, not chocolate.. Spaghetti squash.. LoL ????????????

@@grasseschic, whenever you're cleared for all the ingredients, this butternut casserole is wonderful according to my tastebuds and those of anyone I've ever made it for. Of course ignore Katzen's number of servings; for WLS folk, it yields more than 4 or 5 servings; you'll see for yourself. I don't get why people sweeten already-sweet things like winter squash and sweet potatoes. The contrast of the savory ingredients here makes it. I have the original cookbook (from the 1970's I think??) Any way I got it in the 80's. The recipe may have given a choice between yogurt and buttermilk, but I can't say how much of the latter. If you make this, read first, as Katzen never listed ingredients in order of use.

P.S. It's not a high-Protein dish, so a smaller serving may work best as a side dish.

Thank you.
