I love this recipe and it is timely as Thanksgiving is coming.

2 delicatta squash halved and seeds carved out
1 acorn squash, halved and seeds carved out
(any favorite squash can be used, these are my favs)

sprinkle with freshly ground pepper and turn cut side down on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast 450 for 20 minutes or until fork tender. Cool until you can pick them up and carve squash from shells.

Chop coarsly or mash with 1/3 cup chopped cyrstalized ginger, 1/4 cup REAL maple syrup, 4 TBS butter, 1/4 cup chopped pecans (may be omitted) s/p to taste. Mix and reheat in casserole until desired temperature. Top with a dollop of butter just before serving. You may need to adjust the amounts depending on the sizes of the squash.

My mother used to make this often. I had forgotten it, but I'm definitely going to make it soon.
Thanks

It can be a side dish, main dish, dessert - just something that you REALLY want someone else to try.

On page 3 of this pasta dish thread, I posted my Italian-Style Mac n Cheese. I swear to God, it is so simple and so good. I've not met one person who tried it and DIDN'T love it.

2 Tablespoons flour
2 cups of milk
1 4oz. pkg. chipped beef(chop it up)
Salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth and
heat until bubbly. Gradually stir in milk and continue stirring to keep
from getting lumpy. The mixture - which is white sauce - willl gradually
thicken. Add the chipped beef (separate the slices) and keep over low
heat about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper as desired. Serve over toast.

My husband will love you for this one. Thanks

Holy cow...2002! This is an oldie but a definite goody. I'll think on this one a bit. I think my contribution will be in the down home cooking category.
