I cut it in half the long way, scooped out the seeds, and baked it face down. I like cutting just in half because then I can use an ice cream scoop to scoop out the cooked flesh easily. I tried my stick blender for pureeing this year, and it worked beautifully. I've been making gluten-free pumkin spice cake (http://rainbow.livejournal.com/1334853.html) -- you'd have to sub for the eggs and butter, but otherwise it might be safe (albeit a bit carby) for you and M. I've been freezing the puree in 1 and 2 cup canning jars. I'm very addicted to freezing in canning jars lately.
