I love quick breads and I find they are especially great around the holidays as gifts or to serve with a little butter as a side dish since they are not overly sweet and go great with Turkey. Here's a great recipe for a moist, delicious bread that incorporates some butternut squash. I LOVE butternut squash and have been looking...

1 1/4 c cooked butternut squash (see instructions below for cooking) or use good quality canned squash drained
1/2 c brown sugar (dark or light is fine)
1/2 c sugar- i use pure sugar cane sugar as opposed to processed sugar
1/2 c apple sauce or vegetable oil (the applesauce is a much healther alternative but it will add some sweetness)

Steps:
