My Bucket List These Days Consists Of New Recipes That I Want To Make…

I made Chicken & Wild Rice Soup last night and it was so good. Now I’m gonna have to make it often. I baked an acorn squash with cinnamon, butter, maple syrup and raisins. Ate the rest of it with some of the leftover soup for lunch. The squash tasted like dessert to me. So gonna have to buy more acorn squash to cook too.

I'm not sure what acorn squash is but it sounds really yummy the way you make it. I'm going to have to Google now to see what the British equivalent is.

@PatientlyWaiting25 Acorn squash are smaller, more fibrous and less dense than Butternut Squash. Easy to cut open and scrape the seeds out and fill and roast.

@cherokeepatti I think I will try with a butternut squash, I do cooking apples baked and filled and they are lovely. I never thought of using squash before.

@PatientlyWaiting25 I started buying acorn squash in the 1980’s. I didn’t have a recipe so I just made my own. I had just gotten a microwave oven and would fill them with raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter and cook them in the microwave. They cook much quicker that way and the sugar and raisins don’t scorch. Have to be careful roasting in the oven. Can put the butter and cinnamon in but those raisins will scorch if they are included at the beginning. I think almonds and pecans would also be good in them.
