Southwestern Filled Acorn Squash

So I had a big acorn squash leftover from my CSA, and wanted to do something interesting with it. I found this recipe for Southwestern Filled Acorn Squash on Eating Well.

I don't generally like sausage, so I omitted the meat and made this vegetarian. I also only made one squash and not 3, so I had eyeball some of the amounts

. Let me tell you, this was fantastic! Really nice flavors and quite impressive looking. I think this might go into our regular fall lineup. It's very filling. I am actually eating the leftovers right now!

Butternut Squash Crumble

I found this recipe on Boston.com, and decided yesterday's rainy, windy night would be the perfect time to try it. I am a squash fiend, so I was very excited to try this recipe. It's like an apple crumble you might make, except savory.

You can view the recipe here:

Yes, it does have a good deal of parmesan cheese and butter. The recipe came out great, although I would not call it light. It was very filling in the belly. I took a shortcut and used already cut up butternut squash. I found it well worth the extra money. My only other critique was that I didn't mix the crumb topping as well as I could have, so I ended up with some spots that had a sand-like consistency.

I am eating it now for lunch, and I can attest that it does well as leftovers!
