This is our favorite way to prepare acorn squash. It is sooooo good on a cold night and goes with anything!
Cut squash in half and scoop out seeds. The end that has the tip or pointy part (technical term!) I cut off so that they sit flat. Cover a baking sheet with foil. Set the squash on the tray, add a slice of butter, 1T or so of brown sugar and a piece of bacon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 375 for about 30 min. Or until the yellow flesh seems soft and pulls apart with a fork. For some reason it won’t let me add the finished picture… but they are beautiful when cooked. The kids will even love these and they are so easy! Enjoy!

This must have been the first night in a week we haven’t eaten at your house… how’d we miss these??
Tonia says
Those sound good. I have a butternut that has been sitting there forever…any good recipes for that?

I always grow more acorn squash in my garden than anything else because it always comes out so pretty. I tried this recipe today and it is wonderful. Thanks for the tip. I can’t believe you have so many kids and still are so creative in everything you do-even cooking.
