I have a bunch of squash I need to use that I bought at the farmer's market. Here they are, aren't they gorgeous?

| I actually started with sunshine squashes, a pumpkin relative. |
I thought I'd revisit an old recipe I tried last winter for pumpkin muffins. Here's the link if anyone's interested in trying it:

| I hack the squash in half, then roast both halves side by side in a roasting pan. |
 |
| The batter, with the raisins this time. |
My helpers really surprised me at how capable they were. Apparently I've been underestimating them!
 |
| The helper, one of two. This guy did almost ALL of the stirring, my least favorite part; greased the cups; and filled the cups. It was so much better actually letting go of the process and letting him really help me. |

| The finished product: they were really good with the raisins! |
Let the little ones use an ice cream scoop to fill the muffin cups. It works great and ups the fun ante, I think. Maybe a scoop would make a good stocking stuffer?
