I thought it was a refreshing way to prepare this squash without using sugar.. etc. I liked it with the mind set that it was a vegetable. My husband thought it needed something to make it sweeter. Perhaps a little agave would have made it a bit more interesting for him. I would make it again and tweak it a bit. To be totally honest, I did not have much onion and perhaps a sweet onion would have given it a bit more flavor.

Excellent, tasty stuffing. . My only change was to substitute chopped cashews for the sunflower seeds. On my second attempt I turned this basic recipe into a stuffing for Thanksgiving dinner by adding Bell's Traditional Stuffing (8 portions) and some roasted butternut, onion and celery. It worked beautifully, and offered a vegetarian option to the turkey. My 8 lb. blue hubbard made and wonderful presentation.
