Recipe: Mrs. S’s Butternut Squash Casserole

The Silkin Family’s Greatest Hits

I’m Allen Silkin, digital director at Gingrich 360. The following recipes are from the volumes of cookbooks of the beloved “Mrs. S,” my wife. Many of these dishes have been transported (very carefully) up and down the eastern seaboard during the holidays. Mrs S’s recipes are so delicious that they defy science: even putting weight on individuals during the Passover holiday.

Butternut Squash Casserole

  • 2 boxes frozen butternut squash
  • ½ cup light cream (non-dairy creamer for vegan option)
