Acorn squash, and hubbard squash, and butternut squash, and sweet dumpling squash (no kidding!), and all the other wonderful, beautiful hard squash in the store right now. Lovely to look at, delightful to munch! Cut 'em in half, pierce the skin a couple of places, and microwave 8 to 10 minutes or so, then serve with butter & brown sugar or cinammon sprinkled on them...YUMMMMMMMMM! Quick, delicious, nutritous, and HIGHLY sublime! *smack*

: Alrighty then! I did the squash (or "gourd" as my family called it) with the butter and brown suger. I felt so 18th century. The dish looked beautiful. Just like something out of Country Living. Unfortunately, it still tasted like a vegetable. Where did I go wrong? Maybe I should stick with pumpkin pie.

Hi Dana,

If you have the time to bake the acorn squash in the oven, with the butter and brown sugar in it, you might like it. It's not as pretty, because it gets kind of brown from the sugar, but it tastes great. Cook it upside down in an inch of boiling water for a while, and then when it starts to get soft, flip it over and put the butter and brown sugar in and finish it off. Cook til really soft. It takes longer than the cooksbook usually say, at least 90 minutes from beginning to end. You can also add some nuts chopped. Not exactly lo-cal, but still, there is a vegetable buried under all that other good stuff.
