Baked Acorn Squash w/Raisins

how to cook squash, squash recipes, how to eat squash

*Alternative to my famous baked corn dish

Ingredients:

1 acorn squash

2 TBS butter (or butter substitute)

1 TBS dark brown sugar (or light)

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla

dash of ground clove

dash of sea salt

Raisins (I like the golden!)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop the seed out. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray and place the acorn halves flesh side down and bake for 35-45 minutes or until tender. Leave the oven on. In a saucepan over med heat, melt the butter and add remaining ingredients. Stir until smooth and all ingredients are dissolved. Flip the squash over so it is flesh side up and equally distribute the butter mixture over each half of the squash. Put the squash back into the oven for about 15 minutes. The last 5 minutes, add your raisins. Serve hot.

Tartberries

*Alternative to a can of cranberry or a sugar rich cranberry dish!

Ingredients:

1 12oz bag of cranberries

1 C water

1 C agave nectar, divided use

1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

Bring the water, ⅔ cup of agave and vanilla to a boil over medium heat. Add the cranberries, return to slow boil. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The berries will “pop”. Remove from heat and cover, allowing to stand until at room temp. Remove lid and carefully stir in the additional agave nectar. Sweet and tart.

Note: Typically speaking, agave nectar is sweeter than sugar and you only need to use about ⅔ the amount of nectar as you would sugar. Because the way the agave nectar cooks down, some of the sweetness will be lost. That is why I add agave AFTER it is at room temp. However, this is to your taste, so try it before you add it!

The Best Pumpkin Cookies Ever

*Alternative to traditional pumpkin pie

Ingredients

1 C natural applesauce

1 C pure maple syrup

1 C pumpkin puree

2 C whole wheat flour

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

¼ tsp sea salt

2 tsp cinnamon

Dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350. In a large mixer combine the applesauce and syrup. Once well blended add the pumpkin, egg and vanilla. Slowly add the flour then add the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Once all ingredients are well combined, drop the dough onto your cookie sheet using a spoon. Note, these cookies do NOT spread very much! Bake for 10-11 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack or flat plate. Once cooled, melt your chocolate and drizzle on top.
