Acorn Recipes

A thick and hearty soup that is creamy without all the cream!!

This delicious (and low calorie) fall soup could really be made with any squash - it's wonderful with butternut as well as acorn!

This is the way my mother makes it and we love it! You can use Butternut squash instead of acorn squash. I also use unsalted butter instead of Smart Balance from time to time.

This dish is simple and quick--you'll love it. Serve it for Thanksgiving or any night of the week.

Delicious side dish!

Thru this together with what I had on hand. Turned out great =M

Italian style Ground turkey with cauliflower rice stuffed into an acorn squash.

Quick and easy dinner in an edible bowl! If cut in quarters, can also be a side dish.

Tasty alternative to other stuffed squash recipies

This can be made any number of ways. It can be completey vegetarian, you can add meat, use different veggies, the sky is the limit with this one.

This is great for Thanksgiving or anytime. You decide if it is a side dish or dessert!

It's getting to be late autumn and it's time to take advantage of those winter squashes. One of my favorites is the acorn squash. I also wanted something a little different so I made up this vegetarian chorizo stuffed squash.

modified from real simple - original recipe called for curred chorizo and machego cheese, no spinach or onion.

With fall approaching this squash is yummy!

I cut some caloric corners. Almond milk instead of heavy cream. Super light cheese instead of Gruyere. Acorn squash to help add more nutrients than traditional Gratin. Thoroughly scrubbed potatoes and squash so the skin could be left intact.

You can change it up with hamburger or different veggies for filling.

A tasty way to get beta-carotene-rich squash and kale into your diet. Try it with whole-wheat penne for extra fiber.

This is a thick warming comforting soup

Acorns taste like a cross between hazelnuts and sunflower seeds and were nearly as important a food to Native Americans as corn, squash and beans.

Cherokee, Apache, Pima, Ojibwa, and most all other Native Americans tribes across the oak growing North and South America routinely harvested and used acorn nuts from oak trees and they taught early settlers how to harvest and use acorns, corn and other traditional foods too.

Native Americans carried dried Acorn Cakes, Pemmican, shredded meat and or soups on journeys.

Pre-mix the dried ingredients in a zip lock bag to carry along on a camping trip to make Apache Indian bread over an open fire.

Acorn bread is a delicious, sweet, crumbly dessert bread that was introduced to Colonists by Native Americans.

Healthy subsitute for a good dessert.
