A New Direction...Vegetables
Okay so I had to go in a new direction today because I was doing too much baking and there was no possible way for me to finish all the baked goods in one day. Today I made something that I have never had before, squash. I made Maple Baked Acorn Squash, which was not as disgusting as I thought it would be. Actually the squash did not have much taste to it; I am glad I put a lot of cream and maple syrup on it. If I ever decide to dabble in squash again, I would use less cream and possibly add some brown sugar to it. I wish that the center mixture had turned out to be more of a glaze as opposed to a milky soupy substance. But even though my squash looked like halved coconuts when it came out the oven I was still pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Also if there is anyone in the Cleveland area that loves squash, I mean like can't live without some good acorn squash, please come over to my house and finish the 3 halves that I have left because yes my family and I split one half. I suppose I should not have made so much, but I was following the recipe exactly so thank god acorn squash is cheap.
So someone suggested I post the recipes for the dishes I make so I will start today. This recipe was really difficult, I mean if you are not a veteran cook I would not even attempt this vegetable dish.
Maple Baked Acorn Squash
-Two acorn squash cut in half, make sure to remove all seeds
-One tablespoon of cream and one tablespoon of maple syrup poured into each half
-Place in an ungreased baking pan
-Bake for one hour at 350 degrees.
Okay so there was not much to this recipe, but I said I would make everything in the cookbook even if that means pouring two ingredients into a vegetable and baking. Tomorrow maybe I will attempt something even more difficult like a cobb salad.
