How to cook an butternut and squash diet for a healthy and affordable dinner

This article is a supplement to the Globe and Mail’s Butternut & Squash diet series.

To get the best nutrition from your favourite butternuts and squash, we recommend eating them raw, raw-frozen, cooked or frozen.

If you’re new to the diet, we suggest starting with the first two and following it up with the final two.

If your family is allergic to nuts or seeds, you may want to limit the number of butternets you eat each week.
