butternut squash bread
I have recently been in love with anything squash - at this moment butternut. I thought, it is so sweet and yummy that it should be a dessert. My favorite desserts just happen to be sweet breads - of any variety - so I put this together and my family loved it, so I thought I would share. My husband loves the way the ginger comes through. I hope you enjoy it as well.
