acorn squash


Posted by Picasa
another new favorite recipe.  and so, so easy to do.  i have to admit i am new to acorn squash,  i have made soups in the past with it, but never alone.  i am thinking fall recipes now, and this one "falls" into that category.  this recipe is for 2 acorn squash.  slice both in half, scoop out the seeds.  set the stove to 425 degrees.  in a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil (yes, we are not using butter!), 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.  on a side note,  pancake syrup is not the same as maple syrup - so put away the aunt jemima and go by the real stuff.  whisk all three ingredients together and brush on the squash.  sprinkle with a little salt.  bake with the cut side up for 40-45 minutes.  eat right out of the "bowl".  this is so fantastic and fun and healthy! think about serving this at your thanksgiving dinner!  have a good weekend everyone.  i hope to get back into the groove of things next week.  have sorta been on a blogging break!
