I love Acorn Squash, janie and mama! (They call them "Danish Squash" out west) I just hack'em into wedges and drizzle with melted butter and pancake syrup and bake an hour or so until tender. YUM!
I love Acorn Squash Mama. I am surprised that more people don't eat it. It is shocking how naturally sweet it is. I make a really nice Ravioli filling with it, I serve the Ravioli in a brown butter sauce with chopped walnuts. The kids love them. I did a post about fried Ravioli and am going to try a batch of fried Acorn Squash Ravioli and maybe dip them in a sugar and cinnamon mixture.
I used to work at a really POSH Assisted Living Community, the dining room would make the baked acorn squash with melted butter, cinnamon and brown sugar and you should've seen those ole' wealthy retired folks go crazy grabbing them:eek: why if there were any left over it would have been a miracle:) I really loved working there and interacting with and observing the residents, they also went BONKERS over asparagus and hollandaise sauce as well as the deserts. But the funniest thing was just watching so many of them totally flip out over food, it was as if many had been deprived of food their whole lives:confused: HEY>>>Maybe that was why they retired rich, they saved all that money not buying food:D Sure made me wonder though:rolleyes:

Cathy, it makes me wonder how many Big Macs and Whoppers those folks may have consumed in their years. Isn't it a shame to be so far along in life to suddenly have your taste buds awoken? Your a miracle working Foodie,
