[Momma2threegirls]

I Had never seen one of these at our local market and they had them - so i bought one...waht can I do with it??

[Chicklady]

Cut in the style of an apple, toss with cinnamon and splenda and sprinkle with flax seed as an apple crisp. On OWL? Add a nut "crust".

[Momma2threegirls]

Do you bake it - or can it be eaten raw?

[Chicklady]

I bake it. I suppose it can be eaten raw. Never tried it that way.

i've had it raw. it has a type of crunch like an apple. when you able to have peanut butter, you can dip the chayote.

I made the apples with it then pilled it into a acorn squash (I think) and baked it. DELISH!! Think I found the recipe in an atkins book??

One day I will make these...

tried chayote today for the first time, sauteed in butter. Extremely unexciting.. until you add just the touch of Splenda and cinnamon..I added a little allspice. Quite nice, I poured a little cream over it. Liking it!

[Chicklady]

LOL It IS unexciting isn' t it? But then, so is the yellow summer squash.
The cinnamon and cream sounds like a good addition! Kind of like peaches n cream Hmmmm Maybe with a little flaxseed it would make a nice warm winter breakfast....
