GRAYCE'S ACORN SQUASH

WHOA! Okay, did you get that Earthquake last night?  It sure rolled here at my house.  Started with a little movement and then it started rolling and got stronger.  My puppies first jumped up, then started barking, ran outside, came in, ran to the front door then back, then stood looking wide eyed at me.  It really was hilarious.  Things really were shaking around here.  It always happens when that hot weather hits.

I know it's hot out but this side dish is so good, it is worth turning on the oven.  Acorn squash is so sweet, even by itself, but fixed like this, it is hard to resist.

GRAYCE'S ACORN SQUASH

2 acorn squash, ends cut off and cut into 1 1/2" rings
1/2 cup heavy cream,
1 cup maple syrup (Pure)
1 stick of butter melted
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup chopped walnuts

Mix the cream, maple syrup, butter, nutmeg, walnuts and cinnamon.  Place the rings in a large casserole dish.  Pour the mixture over the squash,  and bake uncovered in the oven at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or just until the squash is tender.  Serve hot.  Spoon the sauce over the squash.  Yummy!

Thanks for stopping in today.  There will not be a post tomorrow as I will be at Kate's Graduation.  It starts at 8:30am.  See you all Thursday.
Ciao
Grayce
