do you know of any other good reciepes for acorn squash? I made some the other day with butter and brown sugar and it was great but need a new one for next week.

This sounds great and I’m going to try it. However, the recipe doesn’t list cook times or temps, and it needs to be proofread a little bit (e.g., the corn in the ingredients list seems to have turned into carrots in the directions!) but other than that, sounds good and looks easy.
