Trying to get the 9 servings of vegetables and fruit a day? I had this last night and it was easy and good.

ACORN BAKED SQUASH



2 acorn squash
1/2 c. butter or canola oil
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
can of fruit in heavy syrup

Scrub squash thoroughly; cut in half lengthwise and using a spoon scrape out the seeds and fibers, butter or oil the cut surfaces, place cut side down on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes, or until inside is very soft. Turn cut side up. Place butter in the cavity of each half and on the rim. Sprinkle with a little nutmeg. Serve in the shells while still hot. Serves 4.

Pour canned fruit with heavy syrup in shells and serve!

You can also take the same idea for yams and other squash. Lower in fat. (I think)
