This worked so well for me! Just as good as when it is baked in the oven, at a fraction of the time. Thanks for sharing! -
The hardest part about this recipe is cutting the darn thing! But it was worth it! This was the first time I've ever had Acorn squash and it was so good...because there weren't any herbs or spices the true flavor shone through! Quite yummy!

I am now a full time homemaker, having retired from a career in Market Resarch for over 20 years-a profession I entered after raising 4 children. Why this field after a degree in Music Education? Who knows? It just appealed to me and the hours were right at first when my children were still at home. I eventually went full-time, but last year decided to retire and join my husband who is a retired engineer. We have had a computer for over six years now and I love getting new recipes off the internet. I print them out and have a three ring binder full of them. Some of them prove to be duds, but most are keepers.
