Forgot to add my fav.....BAKED ACORN SQUASH

Cut an Acorn Squash in half, lengthwise. Put in cassarole dish. Place squash skin-side down in cassarole. Inside the squash add a bit of butter, approx.
1 T., 1 T. maple syrup or brn. sugar (Splenda works great) and a dash of cinnamon. Pour 1/2 inch of water in the bottom of the dish. Cover w/foil and bake 1/2 hour. Check for tenderness....depends on the size of the squash. It's so easy and delicious!!
This can be done in the micro, too, but with saran on the top. Micro for 6 min. test for tenderness. If I'm doing a lot of squash for a dinner party I'll pre-cook them in the micro then put in a large cassarole and put in oven to finish off. Either way they're great!
