Autumn Squash Bread image

There are plenty of quick bread recipes around, but this one is special. A great alternative to pumpkin, squash plays a starring role in this moist, lightly spiced loaf. It's great for gift-giving, snacking, or breakfast on the run. Have also included a Squash butter recipe.
