Brown sugar makes terrific sweet baked acorn squash.

Fall is in the air, and that means it's time for Sweet Baked Acorn Squash. September 7 is National Acorn Squash Day. There's a day for just about everything, right?

I love Acorn Squash. Don doesn't. He only likes it the way his momma made it, with tons of butter and brown sugar. Its super good that way, but I prefer eating it the way my mom made it— with butter and salt and pepper (link for recipe at the end of the post). Both recipes are made the same way. Watch me show you how.

Be Efficient

The oven warms up your house during the crisp, cool fall. You might as well make a Meatloaf and Apple Crisp while you're at it.

What You Need

You will need a good knife, cutting board, measuring spoons and a casserole dish. But what you really want is a good set of pans, right?
