Squash!

Whipped Kabocha
1 Kabocha squash, peeled and cubed
Olive Oil
8 slices fried bacon, crumbled
1/2 cup toasted crushed walnuts
2 tbsp butter
salt and cinnamon to taste
Drizzle of honey
small handful of dried cranberries

Cut the top off of the squash and cut in half.  Scoop out the seeds and cut in quarters.  Using a vegetable peeler, take the peel off of the quarters and then cube.  Toss the cubed squash into a glass roasting pan and drizzle with olive oil.  Bake at 400 for 30-45 minutes or until very tender.  Let cool, and then place cooked squash in blender, add juices from pan, butter, honey, and seasonings.  Blend/whip the squash and place in serving bowl.  Mix in crumbled bacon, crushed walnuts, and dried cranberries.  Serve with a little more butter and honey to taste!

I served this with green beans and pork loin.
