Dear Sisters,
I hope you are all settling into fall and enjoying the bounty of harvest season. It’s cranberry season here in New England and I’m feeling inspired to try some new recipes using whole local cranberries, or craisins. Are you a craisin lover? I am CRAZY for craisins! I love adding them to breads, salads, granola, oatmeal, and trail mix. Ya see, I’m not a fan of raisins. Never have been; so I substitute craisins for raisins every time! Today I’m sharing a delicious acorn squash recipes stuffed to the gills with Autumn goodness. And craisins, of course! Continue reading
Sounds delish! Here we stuff it with meatloaf! your basic one dish meal. 🙂
Hi Beth,
Meatloaf would be good too. My mom used to stuff zucchini with ground beef in a tomato based sauce with melted cheese on top. I like the sweetness of the acorn squash with the brown sugar added to the fruit, it’s almost like a desert!

Now this recipe sounds like a real keeper! I think I will definitely try it.
Hi there, Terry!
Great! I hope you like it! 🙂

Deb,
This recipe looks so good. I’m really eager to try it. I’m not much for baked squash but I’m thinking I’ll like this! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

Hey Dori,
I think you’ll like it, and if you’re a fan of squash, the filling alone would be amazing on oatmeal!
Hugs!

Hi Deb!
I am like you…I am not a fan of raisins, but love craisins. I think I will try substituting them more often. Thanks for the inspiration, and I think I will be trying this recipe very soon! Farmgirl Hugs, Nicole (Suburban Farmgirl)
Hi Nicole!
Let me know how you like it! I just made apple crisp with cooked whole cranberries…;) The cranberries turned the whole thing hot pink!

Hi Deb,
Wanted to log on tonight and tell you I made your stuffed acorn squash recipe tonight. It was great! Thumbs up from us. I served it with a brown sugar sauced meatloaf and for dessert, homemade pumpkin bread. Great fall meal. Your recipe (I made it how you made it, with cranberries) is a keeper.
Farmgirl Hugs,
Nicole
Oh, I’m so glad you gave it a try, Nicole! Now, I want to try your brown sugar sauced meatloaf…! That sounds wonderful.
Hugs,
Deb
Sounds yummy! I usually stuff mine with lentils, celery and onions for one of our meatless dinner selections.
That sounds delicious too, Dot! Thank you!
Love,
Deb
