Introduction

I adapted this recipe from one I found online to use all the fresh produce I received this week in my CSA (community supported agriculture) share. I had my doubts how chili would taste with winter squash, but this recipe is a winner!

    1/2 large acorn squash*, peeled and diced, 1/2" cubes
    2 Tbsp good chili powder
