Acorn Squash and Apple Mash

"My son's a relatively picky veggie eater so I'm resorting to subterfuge here. He loves sweet potatoes and I've managed to convinced him this is them, just mashed. He loves it! Now besides fried onions and raw carrots I've at least got him to eat some squash!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a single mom of an 11 year old boy. I work full-time and love to cook. My son (and his friends)love to eat my cooking. Mostly we eat seafood because we love it and it's quick to cook. I love fishing (of course) biking, hiking, gardening and reading. We have a cat, Hooligan; and yes, there is a good reason for that name.
