Playing Squash

When is a nut not a nut?
When it's an acorn squash, silly!  :P

Happy National Acorn Squash Day!
Sweet nuttily delicious acorn squash is high in fiber and potassium, amazingly easy to make and superfun to play with...get creative!

  1. I'm kind of learning to love butternut squash at the moment - I'm experimenting with roasting it and adding it wherever I can. Soup does it for me, but I'm pretty sure that the pasta up there has won me over!
