    1. Oh I love almost ever type of squash I have ever tried, and my daughter, (the grown one) asks me every year to make baked acorn squash, which makes a great dessert or can be savory..its funny how when they live with you, they won't eat half of what you cook, they move out and start making requests for your food lol. :)
