Baked Winter Squash
Ingredients
- 2-1 lbs acorn squash Trim top and bottom so they are square

Notes
Or if you like, you can exclude the sweet spices and bake them savory and fill them with your favorite cooked grain and sautéed vegetables. The photo shows an acorn squash filled with a savory mushroom sauce.
