Roughing it with acorn squash

I spent the weekend with some friends roughing it in Pigeon Forge. And by roughing it I mean staying in a really nice cabin. We ate so well. The first night we were there we had pulled pork tacos with mango salsa, cabbage, and feta. The second night we had steak, roasted asparagus, and acorn squash. It was so delicious that I decided to recreate that meal this evening.

Turns out, making acorn squash is soooo easy. Cut them in half and place them face down on a greased pan, bake for 30 minutes at 350. While they were roasting, I sliced an apple and tossed it with some cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. I'm an eyeballer so I don't have exact measurements. After 30 minutes in the oven, I took them out, flipped them over and spooned some of the apple mixture into each one. A bit of butter and back in the oven.


I'm not so good with the photography but that's before the oven round two. They were in for another 15 minutes or so but really could have used 20. Regardless, it all turned out so well!
