Today's research

For lunch: Acorn squash, baked, then filled with brown sugar, cinnamon, pecans and butter. It was a tasty confection, but to be honest, I couldn't actually taste the squash all that much. I'll be trying a savory recipe with my other acorn squash later this week

Hmm...I wonder if you just got a lame-o acorn squash. Sometimes they are just kind of flavorless and often also stringy and/or watery. But good ones are oh! so good.

It was neither stringy nor watery, but I mostly tasted the nuts and sugar, and the squash? Not so much.

The pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter make it sound more like a dessert. Yumm. We had mashed carrots and turnips yesterday with butter, salt and pepper.

Sounds delicious. I am totally in love with turnips.

It was all very, very tasty. And relatively healthy, too!

My mom loves acorn squash...probably like you, she can eat it with only butter and nutmeg.

I may try it with butter and nutmeg next, so I can taste the squash more clearly. Good suggestion, you!
