Squash recipe

I started handing out free squash this afternoon and realized that a recipe or two would go well with these free squash.

Here's one of my favorites;
Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash
3 small acorn squash (about a pound each)
1/4 cup butter, melted
3 Apples, peeled and chopped into small peices
1 tablespoon lemon jiuce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional

Cut three or two medium squash in half from stem to blossom end. Remove the seeds. Place, cut side down, in a shallow baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water to a depth of 1/2 to 3/4 inch. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Turn the squash over. Brush the insides and cut areas with some melted butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Set aside.

Combine the apples (you should have about 3 cups of pieces), lemon juice, remaining butter, brown sugar and walnuts in a mixing bowl. Fill the squash halves with the apple mixture. Cover the entire baking dish with foil. Continue to bake for approximatley 30 minutes longer or until both the apples and squash are tender.

Update from the Garden of Eatin'

Hello Garden Fans,

We got a new shipment of fresh haddock and cooked and peeled shrimp today. So instead of Fresh Fish Friday, it's Seafood Saturday and Sunday! Come on down!

I have seen a lot of cars drive by today, I imagine they are all out hunting for a Christmas tree or going Christmas shopping. I would think that a stop by The Garden of Eatin' for a refreshing cup of coffee or hot chocolate and a sandwich would be the perfect ending for a day spent in the holiday shopping mode.

If your looking for that special something for a gift, let's not forget our local artists who display their pictures and cards here, plus our all new dried fruit & cinnamon tree ornaments from Applewald Farm. When the person came in to show her ornaments, our kitchen crew raved and ordered for themselves, so we got some extra to sell. As a kid we were raised to give practical gifts and in this time of our history, food seems to be the best practical gift next to firewood and clothing. We may not have the clothing, but we have the firewood and food taken care of. So, a gift certificate from the Garden of Eatin' could be right up your alley if you are a practical giver.

That's it for today! Have a GREAT weekend and... See you at The Garden of Eatin'!
