The sugar for each serving of the squash is 21 grams. Hope that helps!

Sometimes cutting a squash in half can be a real challenge. I have found that by pricking the skin and then microwaving the squash for 2 - 3 minutes (depends on size), it helps with cutting.

What you're saying..
Kudos and Plaudits to you! I have tried many of your recipes with success but I must say your Scrumptious Crock Pot Beef Stew was OUTSTANDING!!! I've made it many times since it appeared in the paper and each time it's a big hit and I love it even more (great leftover too).
I've learned to do all the prepping/chopping the night before so that all I have to do is the layering/assembling in the morning. I have upgraded a tad and use sirloin steak strips cut up when I can get them on sale......YUMMMMM!
So, thanks again for sharing your recipe. I know I'll be making this for eons to come!

With 4 TBSP maple syrup and 4 tsp brown sugar, it is criminal to omit sugar content in the nutritional info of this recipe. A real blunder.
