While that is cooking rise a head of cauliflower and chop into chunks.  Using the grating plate on a food processor, rice the head of cauliflower.  Once the butternut squash is fork tender, add all the riced cauliflower.  Add seasonings and saute for about 6-8 minutes, until cauliflower is blanched.  Add entire can of organic coconut milk.  Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and let simmer 8 minutes, stirring frequently.  Serve in a bowl.
