Oh for the Love of Squash!

       The days are gradually getting cooler..and darker - like the clouds are weighing heavy with imminent snow that does not come....it will...one of these days.

Each day we add another winter accessory to our outdoor play.

At Lilian's a week or so ago we shared the most delicious pumkin soup...I tried to replicate it, and although the children polished their warm bowls off, they agreed that I should get Lilian's  recipe from her.

 

One of the dishes we've been enjoying this late Autumn has been this Maple-Nut baked butternut squash;

One butternut squash: cut  in half with an ax (no, just kidding, that's too dangerous! But it is a hard cut.) Scoop out the seeds. 

1Cup of chopped Frozen Apples (preferably sour) in each half. (2C.total) 

1/2 C. of Walnuts in each half.

A sprinkle ground rock sea salt over both.

A modest pour of Real Maple Syrup over both halves.

Bake at 350 for one hour.

Let cool for 5 min and carefully scoop all of it out and Serve!

This inspiration comes from Mama Lois - Farm Mama to many!
