Acorn Squash


a nice twist to a traditional dish...

Recipe: for 2
-Using hidden strength, cut the acorn squah in half.
-Then scoop out the seeds as you would a pumpkin. Try to cut the tips off each round so the squash can lay flat on a plate. If you can't cut the stem its ok, it will cook fine off balance as well.
-Lay both halves(middle end up) on a microsafe dish with a tiny bit of water in the bottom, just an eighth of an inch or so.
-Cover it with saran wrap and cook for 10 minutes in the microwave.
Carefully remove plastic and watch out for debilitating steam. Add a dab of butter, a few pinches of brown sugar, and a shake of cinnamon.

Enjoy as your man falls in love with you all over again! I didn't have my camera for this one so I found something similar online. In this one they cut it the long way which is your choice. Looks like it's baked too instead of the easier way in the microwave--no worries!

  1. This dish is delicious! The squash melts off the skin and the brown sugar makes you feel like you are eating oatmeal! Truly a treat.
