    We love acorn squash, and butternut squash as well which I turn into fabulous soup.

    Will add this to the list. Yum.

    This dish sounds wonderful. I’m making stuffed zuchinni today with the same stuffing I use for stuffed green peppers. My husband doesn’t like green peppers so this dish works great for him. But I think I will try your recipe soon.

    I love to take raisins and brown sugar, pack it tightly into the acorn squash halves add a pretty good slab of butter on top, bake on a foil lined baking sheet at 350 until tender (about 45 minutes )
    You could also add pecan pieces. Wonderful!

    This sounds delicious with the exception of maple syrup-not a fan of maple, but I don’t think it would hurt the recipe at all to omit the maple syrup. Thank you!
