Notes
If your honeynut squash is too difficult to slice open, microwave for 1-2 minutes and you should be able to easily slice through.
These cute mini squashes are still relatively new, however you can often find them at farmer's markets, and local specialty grocery stores like Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Sprouts Farmers Markets.
