Roasted Acorn Squash with Orange Cranberry Glaze

DELICIOUS! Delicious Veggies! Okay, I'm really trying to eat more veggies and fruits, and to get what's easily available at the market. The very best veggie recipes I've found are either from friends or from this amazing cookbook by Mollie Katzen -- you remember the saladita? Yeah, that was from her book too. Most recent veggie adventure: Roasted Acorn Squash with Orange Cranberry Glaze.

The final deliciousness: 

In the beginning, there was an acorn squash

The original recipe calls for two acorn squash, so I went with it, even though Lito and I really don't eat that much squash -- I try to stick to the recipe the first time around and wait until either the second time or the last minute to make changes. Making two squash is fine. I personally liked a little higher ratio of glaze to squash, but knock yourself out with as much squash as you like here.

Cranberry Sauce for Fakers

It's Thanksgiving Eve! And I'm so thankful for my darling friends who read this oft-neglected blog. I thought I would post a little something I just made -- cranberry sauce. I should have typed "made" because I cheated and used a can (gasp!) of cranberry sauce. I do love figuring out how to doctor up decent food into good tasting stuff. No, not gourmet, but if you are honestly making everything for a full thanksgiving dinner from scratch without any help, then you're reading this blog because you're amazing and you just want to make me feel good about myself. Bless you.

I am no cranberry connoisseur -- my family always had this cranberry jello salad that secretly no one actually likes. Which means that this little recipe tastes pretty darn good to me. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
