Today, I’m going to ask you think “bright orange”. (Aggies – stay with me!)
When it comes to food preparation, simple can be amazing. Today’s recipe fits that mode, while being packed with nutrition.
Acorn squash is a beautiful, nutritious complex carbohydrate. That bright orange meat is full of vitamins C, A, B, potassium, magnesium, iron, and manganese.
They take about an hour to bake, but your “hands on” time is very minimal.
Another reason I like this squash so much is that you can purchase it, place it in a bowl on our counter, and you have quite a bit of time to decide when you would like to include it as part of your meal.
A note: Fresh sage is awesome, but don’t be hindered if you didn’t snag some, since dried sage is quite tasty as well.
