My husband grew several types of winter (and summer) squashes this summer. I baked up this 7-pound Candy Roaster squash to use in “pumpkin” pie. The flavor is similar to that of a butternut squash but a bit brighter/sweeter. Here is the squash on a large sheet tray: ![IMG_0411](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/e/ea000d75d4c6d460b64d570bbca7e7dc72db58f8.jpeg) Here is the pie in a GF graham cracker crust: ![IMG_0412](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fudiabetes/original/2X/0/0ff51a2e9acb045614ef050b65cfde16f0194a87.jpeg) My husband gave it 2-thumbs up so next I will try it in GF “pumpkin”bread. ---

Hi Cat Lady. Just noticed you joined in 2017 and you are still T1 LADA? Or have you never updated? New to LADA myself as a result of Covid ---

I was really excited when I found Schar gluten-free graham crackers at WalMart (of all places)! These taste and crunch like the regular ones! I crushed and rolled them in a plastic bag, poured them in the pie plate, mixed in 6 T melted butter and 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and patted it out. I did not blind bake the crust before adding the filling. Sometimes I replace part of the graham crackers with crushed pecans. Enjoy! ---
