Acorn Squash 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.

with chorizo and black beans

With fall approaching this squash is yummy!

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

This is a thick warming comforting soup

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.

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.

Curried Acorn Squash ~ Microwave Cooked to Warm Your Tummy!

Autumn is a wonderful food season. Squash are easy to come by and inexpensive. I bought a squash even though I was staying where there was a kitchenette with a microwave. I was not sure how I was going to cook it. But it was easy and the results absolutely delicious. I added honey and low-sodium curry powder and voila!

For a vegan dish, substitute stevia, evaporated cane juice, rice syrup, maple syrup or agave nectar.

You do not have to buy special, more expensive curry powder to find a low-sodium variety. Homemade curry powder is simple to make. Simply read all the curry powder labels at your favorite Asian grocery until you find the curry with the lowest sodium count. The Spice Hunter also makes a great curry powder with no added salt.

When you open the squash, scoop out the seeds and put them aside to prepare for a crunchy treat. Those instructions are not included here.

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.

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