Acorn Squash

I've always been a little afraid of squash.  There are several different kinds and I know nothing about them.  But, I'm learning that I can buy an unfamiliar item at the store, pop it's name into GOOGLE, type SCD behind it and voila....I have a recipe.

Here is a website giving more information on squash and their differences.

I bought an Acorn squash yesterday, which is a winter squash, and decided to give it a try tonight.  I took a recipe from a fellow blogger, called Kim's SCD Recipes.  She has pictures.

Ingredients:
1 acorn squash (cut into 1/2s)
2 cubes butter
dash nutmeg
dash cinnamon
honey to taste
dash basil

1. Preheat oven to 350f.
2. Cut squash in 1/2. Place in casserole dish
3. Coat inside of squash with a layer of butter.
4. Sprinkle spices and drizzle with honey.
5. put 1/4 inch of water in casserole dish (keeps skin from burning, skin is not edible)
6. Place in oven for 40-45 minutes until tender

I raised an eyebrow when seeing the dash of basil, but was pleasantly surprised at the flavor created.
