For additional flavor:

I used 3 yummy squashes- 2 acorns & 1
butternut- I baked them on the bottom rack with the bread at 350 for
one hour. (after halving, scooping out seeds, & laying on a 1/2 sheet
upside down with water poured on the bottom). I also added about 1/4
cup brown sugar, used grated fresh ginger, & a mixture of 1/2 & 1/2
and cream cheese for the heavy whipping cream.
